Now, share your exact location with Facebook friends

Darpan News Desk, IANS, 18 Apr, 2014 10:41 AM
    Soon, you will be able to share your exact location with your Facebook friends.
     
    The company has launched a new feature which can let you see which of your friends are nearby.
     
    The 'Nearby Friends' feature must be turned on by the user to let his/her location known to group of friends.
     
    How would it work?
     
    The feature would use the GPS system on your smart phone to reveal your nearest location to Facebook friends.
     
    By default, your exact location would be shared only for an hour and you can change this.
     
    “'Nearby Friends' would not be available to users under 18,” the firm said that has initially launched the feature for users in the United States.
     
    Users can limit whom they share their location with smaller groups of friends.

    Opinion: Trash is not ugly
    How would it look if the worn out motherboard of a computer becomes your coaster or the headlight of a bike turns into your desk lamp or tyre tube used as a wallet and the door of an old refrigerator as the centre table of your room? This is not wild imagination but creative ways of using scrap and making it look chic.
