Until now, geolocation has been one of those quaint, semi-useful buzzwords: ‘… now with geolocation!!!’ Twitter, Buzz and Foursquare — the main exponents of exposing your location — might not be small, but they pale in comparison to Facebook. With the announcement that Facebook will be enabling geolocation next month, Pandora’s Box [...]

It’s been a little while since Facebook launched their (admittedly barebones) application for Palm’s webOS devices — that’s the Pre and Pixi to you and I. However, in amongst the news of the webOS 1.4 update dropping earlier this week, Facebook have also released an all-new version of the [...]

Facebook just acquired something called Octazen Solutions, a company that most people (myself included) had never heard of until yesterday. Even Techcrunch’s Mike Arrington had to ask “What did Facebook just buy?” Arrington and others talked to their industry sources, and the word around the web is that Octazen [...]

In a completely unrelated Yahoo! Mail Blog post about Valentine greetings, the developers at Yahoo might be hinting (inadvertently?) at social network integration in the pipeline.

It’s just a screenshot, but ‘My Social Networks’ doesn’t seem to exist on current Yahoo email accounts, nor does it make an appearance in [...]
