A Facebook Location API Could Be Coming Soon

We’ve been covering Facebook’s upcoming location-based service for months. Today, CNET says location APIs will be coming in a few weeks, potentially sooner.

Location-based application developers are already using Facebook’s platform to let people sync accounts with Facebook, and share check-ins back to Facebook. What this new API will specifically enable is not yet known, although rumors about it have been popping up since earlier this year. At this point, Facebook appears to want to connect third-party check-ins with profiles and Pages.
