Location Features on Facebook
So, a few weeks after the release of “like” button, now Facebook is releasing location features as early as this week!
This will allow Facebook users to check in at various locations, including retail spots and restaurants.
What this mean for Foursquare, Gowalla & Brightkite? no one knows at this point, but I am sure the founders, and their investors will not be sleeping well tonight.
What this mean for you (the users) ? some of you will love it ( I know I will), some will raise the privacy concern sign, and some will simply not care, since they never knew what the hell is location based services anyway!
What this mean for Facebook? a great tool to compete for advertising dollars spend by brands advertising on location based service & local search.
The question is: would this move by Facebook, help location services hit mainstream?
What you think? would you use the service?
