Facebook launches way to find friends near you June 25th
New feature launched today by Facebook, slightly toward the creepy end of things.
From TechCrunch:
Facebook has created a new feature that lets users find friends and potential friends nearby. Currently Initially called “Friendshake” and also accessible through a URL that is the abbreviation of “find friends nearby” (http://fb.com/ffn), it’s another step in Facebook furthering its reach into mobile, and creating services to meet new people — rather than building up more connectivity with the ones you already know.
Updated…
Facebook has quietly removed a controversial feature that would let users on mobile devices find other Facebook users nearby, even if they weren’t friends with them on the popular social network.
