From the next month more than 400 million Facebook users on Internet will see a new kind of status update flow through their news feed that is the current locations of their friends on Internet.
Facebook on Internet is planning to take the wraps off a new location-based feature in late April. It also updated its privacy policy last November.
Facebook on Internet has been working on a location-based tool for close to a year. But they decided to wait until the product was completely ready for mainstream adoption before announcing it.
Officials of Facebook are constantly experimenting with new things around here, but they do not have any details to share right now. This all new location feature will have two aspects. Among them one feature will be a service offered directly by Facebook on Internet that will allow users to share their location information with friends. The other will be a set of software tools which is known as A.P.I.’s, that is outside developers which can be used to offer their own location-based services to Facebook users on Internet.
Do you know that among 400 million users, about 50 percent log in to the site on Internet, at least once a day and 100 million people access the service from mobile devices? Well this number will make the location feature an area of strong focus for the company. Say Cheers!
