- endtime 16y agohttp://www.facebook.com/theaxeandpalm http://www.facebook.com/theaxeandpalm >New at The Axe & Palm: the Facebook Presence Kiosk! Tell your friends where you are, become a fan of The Axe & Palm, and get a free Starbucks coffee all by just scanning your Stanford ID! Sorry if this comment feels meager, but I'm going to play it safe and not say anything other than the above, which is publically available information.

Here's an example: http://html5demos.com/geo http://html5demos.com/geo You don't have to share your location and you make it ask you every time if you want.
- badave 16y agoLocal on the Internet is the next big thing and Facebook is wise to step up and take it on before something else gained more ground on it. I don't believe in "checking-in" nonsense, but I do think that being able to get in touch with people near you as opposed to people who aren't near you is going to be important in the future. I'd go more into it, but I have some ideas for startups in the "local app" genre.
