The newest iOS application to take advantage of Facebook’s friends and location features, aptly named OverNear, is aimed at connecting Facebook friends who are “over near” each other.
The app alerts users when their Facebook fans are nearby in real-time, and also highlights overlaps in future plans, where users and Facebook friends will be at the same or nearby events or locations.
OverNear also offers privacy controls so that its users can set their own parameters on who can see their locations.
