(UpVery.com) Mar 10, 2010 -- Facebook is slowly grabbing every inch of the network. First announced that he will fight with all postal services established its Project Titan, later amended its timeline and became a kind of Twitter and now, as is known for some time, will point to the Internet boom: the geolocation.

Know why I say that when it changed the confidentiality agreements in November last year had a clause referring to exactly this called "Location information" and that those who paid attention knew it would be a matter of time.

This feature will be available in April and as rumored Facebook speak of it in the f8 conference that the company does each year to developers. Why here? Because it will also introduce an API for third parties from engaging applications to share this information.


The social network is working on this feature from a year ago but we know perfectly well that the moment of presentation is one of the most important things to consider. If service users are not ready for something new and fail to properly understand just not use it. But the geolocation exploded in the network through services like Gowalla or Foursquare and this, undoubtedly, is the ideal time to launch.

Meredith Chin, one of the spokeswomen, said the company still is not ready to give information regarding this new service because they are still testing and adapting things, but would soon.

Facebook has 400 million users and recently became the second site, after Google, most-visited U.S.. Every day they enter the social network 50% of these users and over 100 million mobile devices. For that reason the potential of this property is truly immense and it is safer, in presenting an API, including Foursquare, which is being heavily promoted by Twitter, Facebook can send messages.
