Facebook May Make Location Announcement Wednesday
by Jolie O'Dell
We've just received an invitation to visit Facebook's Palo Alto campus on Wednesday to get "an update on the service’s features and products," and rumor has it the powers that be want to talk about location-based products.
Kara Swisher at BoomTown says her sources "indicate that Facebook will finally be rolling out its own geo-location offering" on Wednesday.
If this is true, it would fulfill a promise made to developers months ago at Facebook's f8 conference, when wefirst thought the feature would launch. Such an announcement would moreover substantiate the subsequent months of "coming soon" rumors and verified quotes we heard from Facebook execs and others.
