Loopt Implements Facebook Connect to Enable Users to Easily Find and Connect with Facebook Friends
New Integration Will Allow Loopt Users to Find Facebook Friends Whenever They’re Nearby
From the press release:
“Working with Facebook Connect widens the circle of friends Loopt users can interact with, combining the power of Loopt’s social-mapping service with an established network of Facebook friends,” said Evan Tana, the Director of Product Management & Marketing of Loopt. “Loopt users will be able to receive an alert whenever Facebook friends are nearby, discover restaurants and bars recommended by their Facebook friends, and integrate their location into their Facebook feed.”
What we think?
Social mapping is vital and everyone has a Facebook account. The difficulty will be managing connections and who to connect with. There might need to be ways in which users can separate work colleagues and friends within the application.
But things like this are fascinating and recommendation essential in the purchase decision. But again there could be issues of permission and those that don’t want to be found.
