The article talks about 2 then 1, implying incorrectly that new 4sq was released, people got pissed off, then swarm was released.
I don't think anybody is arguing that it wasn't part of the pivot. I specifically am calling them out for implying 4sq was reacting to users who were pissed off with their new app, when their new app wasn't yet released.
1. Swarm released
2. New 4sq released
