Ok, but why the @#% doesn't Facebook make it easy to know which of my old friends are living in cities I visit? I swear that would be the one obviously useful thing about Facebook.
- nharada 5y agoThe craziest thing is they used to make this easy with the social graph search or whatever they called it. Now if it's possible it's really hidden.
- yosito 5y agoThere is a nearby friends map, but it only works for people who have consented for Facebook to track their location 24/7. I've played around with building an app that uses the Facebook API (and other social networks) to get people's current "Lives in" city, and location updates from recent posts, and aggregate them all in a map. I found it a bit hard to get this information from the APIs, and never had the time to figure out how to get it to work.
