Facebook Prepares To Release Location Service At f8

According to Nick Bilton of the New York Times, Facebook is aiming to “take the wraps off a new location-based feature in late April at f8”. This confirms details that were first provided by Jessica Vascellaro of the Wall Street Journal earlier this month. Given that location-based services are increasingly the center of attention in the social media space, it’s not surprising that news about Facebook’s new location product has been leaking out recently.

At f8, the company is expected to announced new location-based APIs.
