Facebook have added a new feature for mobile users to try out – the “Find Friends Nearby” function, which, as the name suggests, allows you to find friends nearby. How it works is if you meet Jane Smith and want to add her as a friend, the find friends feature will search for the nearest Jane Smith making it easier to find her. She will also have to have the feature on her phone turned on to be found, however. This comes shortly after Facebook’s purchase of location-based technology company, Glancee.
