Nearby Friends Maps Your Friends Via Facebook Places
Developers are continuing to experiment with Facebook Places, with a mapping application called Nearby Friends one of the latest tools to emerge since the release of the public API.
The Nearby Friends app lets you see your friends on a map, based on their location information from checking into Facebook Places. It has 3,331 monthly active users so far and is rated 2.8 out of 5. (Some of the negative reviews predate the developers fixing a major bug in the service at the end of August).
It’s a pretty simple idea and although there is nothing stopping anyone from launching something similar, Matt Hodan, the Nearby Friends developer, is likely hoping for first-mover advantage.
