According to unnamed sources cited by The New York Times, Facebook plans to introduce a new location-sharing feature to is social networking service. The feature will let users share their own location as well as see the location of their friends in their news feed. The Times' source says that Facebook has been working on the feature for a year, and has waited until it is fully ready before releasing it to its 400 million users. Facebook will also make APIs (application programming interfaces) available to third-party organizations who wish to enable location features within their own Facebook apps. Facebook has not said if or how mobile phones will play a role, but many of the site's users access it from devices such as BlackBerries, Windows Mobile, the iPhone and Android handsets — all of which offer GPS location tools. More details will be made available at the f8 conference, to be held in late April.

Personally I don't have a clue what the big deal about social networks like FB & Myspace. Isn't email good enough???

This is dangerious for every little girl out there that thinks they are safe at home. This would be true except now the weirdo's know where you live. the FCC should put a stop to this. No safty FEATURES can prevent the horrible things that are going to come of this......................................... ............................................. ............................................. ......... 😢 😡 ☹️
IT'S BECOME AWARE...
The system went online on August 4, 1997. SkyNet begins to learn at a geometric rate until on August 29, 1997 ("Judgment Day"), Skynet became self-aware. In a panic, SkyNet's human operators tried to shut down the system, prompting SkyNet to retaliate by launching a large-scale nuclear attack against Russia, knowing that the Russian counterattack would eliminate its enemies in the U.S. This initiates an indeterminately long period of global thermonuclear warfare culminating in a battle pitting humans against machines, which developed ever-increasing capabilities. All because they had to tinker with FaceBook and make it aware. 😳
