Here’s something interesting…
A little birdie told me ,actually it was adage.com, that Facebook is coming out with another MEGA feature. I think they are challenging Google and Twitter here which is fun to watch. However, for us entrepreneurs, this type of a feature has a different meaning. Why? Because it will allow us to market to our audience on a local level and compete with businesses we never thought we could compete with in today’s economy.
So what is that feature I’m talking about?
Well, as of right now, it sort of seems as a rumor because Facebook won’t confirm it but here’s the deal. it seems that by the end of May or beginning June, Facebook will releases a location based feature into their status updates. What does that mean?
That means that whenever you create a status update, you will be able to share your location with the world. For instance, if you just had a tasty frap at a local Starbucks and want to see if anyone wants to get together with you, you will be able to post and update with your location and your friends will be able to get together with you. Now, let me ask you a question…
Is that cool or scary?
What do you think?
I want to hear your thoughts on that in the comments below. As far as real estate goes, I think that this feature will allow real estate professionals to do some crazy, localized and targeted marketing using one of the most popular websites on the internet. Did you know that Facebook is signing up about 1 million people per day! Yeah, I said per day, not month, not a year, per day.
Doesn’t that just blow your mind?
So, let me know what you think? Personally, I can’t wait until they release this feature.

Well Peter, It’s not a bad thing if your just an average Joe and want to network, but if your a celebrity of any kind, it can be a bad thing. That is, if they use the feature. For me, I like it!
