Who does not know about the social networking site Facebook. Currently, this social networking site that continue to increase the rating, is developing an application that can tell the location of the existence of its users. This was disclosed by a Facebook spokesperson Larry Yu. He explained that the Facebook team is currently working to add the location feature and integration with the several new products that will attend the next few months.
It has been reported on several occasions and the team already make preparations to provide location services, but so far Facebook has not used the geo-location tool, an application that is usually used to indicate the place.
When this feature is actually implemented, would have a significant impact and would threaten the existence of other social networking sites based on the location feature. They are Foursquare and Gowalla. Two of these sites began to be known by the public with the advantages that allow users to notify their existence or simply sharing information about the location of “interesting” around them.
For Facebook users, this is exciting news. The more interesting and challenging. It is inappropriate for us to look forward to its realization. And to Facebook itself, of course this will further raise the rating and doubling the number of users.
Meanwhile, for the first sites to apply this application, can take steps to anticipate the development and completion of application programs. Should not be afraid to face the class competitor Facebook. If necessary, this is used as a whip triggers enthusiasm to provide better service to its users.
Foursquare party which is represented by one of the founders Dennis Crowley, responded with calm and relax regarding the plans of Facebook to implement the location applications such as they made. They believe that the Foursquare remains unique because people use it for different reasons.
