Facebook Pulls An Apple on Geolocation Deals

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

You can learn more about all of Facebook’s mobile announcements here and here, but we want to draw your attention to one game-changing item: Creating a “deal” at a location in Facebook Places.

Facebook has done for “deals” what they did for buying ads… They made it super-simple, very logical and with a prowess that makes Foursquare’s process seem silly. Sort of like Apple does to Windows on a regular basis (sorry, baiting a flame war there :) .

Go claim your location and start dealing!

Layers of Place

Yes, it’s that important… run, do not walk to read this article over at ReadWriteWeb:

Foursquare Launches Location Layers

Some of you may remember me crowing over augmented reality in the last year, and certainly everyone has heard my emphasis on the concept of place and location… as predicted, these are all converging and in some really remarkable (read: cool) ways.  Take a look.
