Facebook/Twitter Prepare Location-Based Features
Facebook and Twitter are preparing to flip the switch on features that will allow you to share your location with your friends at any time. Facebook is reportedly revving up to introduce the feature, while Twitter is ready to enable the changes on its site any moment now.
It looks like Twitter launched their location-based feature already. They even have a help article ready for millions of confused moms.
With Twitter and Facebook hitting location-based features hard, and Foursquare, Gowalla, and Buzz continuing their push forward in this area, the question still remains; how valuable are location-based features for users, really?
