3. FACEBOOK TO LAUNCH MOBILE LOCATION
TRACKING APP BY MID-MARCH
One of the biggest and most
popular social networking
sites, facebook is working on
a new mobile application
‘location-tracking’ that helps
users to search for their
friends, who are nearby
according to bloomberg
reports. This new application will track the location of
users through their smart-phones, and it will also run
when the program is not working on a mobile phone.
4. The social networking giant is planning to launch
this wonderful application by mid-march, but
Facebook refused to comment on the Bloomberg
report. As per the reports, a Mobile Location-
tracking application is developed by engineers
Glancee and Gowalla.
When it comes to talk about the current application
of Facebook, it allows people to permit other people
where they are by "checking in" at any landmark.
But the upcoming application is more interesting as
it constantly track users once the application is
started.
5. Facebook is adding features to help it profit from the
surging portion of its more than 1 billion users who access
the service via handheld devices. The tracking app could
help Facebook sell ads based on users' whereabouts and
daily habits. It may also raise the hackles of consumers
and privacy advocates concerned about the company's
handling of personal information.
According to the reports, this much anticipated project is
lead by Peter Deng, former Microsoft and Google
employee, now director of Facbook’s various products.
Well, the release date of this application is still not
declared, but this application surely warns various users
after all this application will track the location.
6. By launching this application, the
company would get help to increase its
revenue from ads that are based on
users’ locations and daily habits.
According to Blomberg Business-week,
before the app could track users'
whereabouts, they would first need to
download it and would probably need to
give the app permission to track them”.
