With Facebook all set to unveil Geo-location to their status updates in April, Twitter has gone ahead and started rolling out their new feature. This feature has already started rolling out to a number of users. How this works is when you login to your account there is a prompt asking you to 'Tweet Your Location' you can either choose 'Turn Location On' or choose 'Not Now'. If you choose to turn your location on Twitter will use Google gears to find your location and a small pin icon will appear beside your Tweet to tell other users your location. The good thing is users aren't forced into this service and it is only an opt-in. An original post by Sociolatte

Starting next month Facebook's 400 million users are going to begin to see a new type of  status update, one which carries geo-location. With the success of other geo-location players like Foursquare, Facebook is ready to take the wraps off their geo-location status updates. Facebook has said that this feature will be an opt-in and we hope not an opt-out.  The New York Times reported that  In preparation for the introduction, Facebook updated its  privacy policy  last November. The new policy states: “When you share your location with others or add a location to something you post, we treat that like any other content you post.” One of the people familiar with the project said that the company was not trying to beat the smaller location-based social networks, such as Loopt, Foursquare and Gowalla. Instead, Facebook wants to go head-to-head with Google in the fight for small-business advertising. Facebook redesigned its business pages last year, with the hope of offering more featur...

There have been many complaints from people who suddenly find that there photo has appeared on a Facebook Ad. It goes a little further than that if you click on 'like an Ad' that would also appear on your recent activity. This is quiet annoying and should not be done because Facebook is making money on those Ads and technically if they use your picture that they might as well share some of the revenue with you. So for those who would rather not have their photo published and neither have their recent social actions on Facebook Ads publishes. Here is what you need to do. 1. Login to Facebook 2. Click on Account 3. Select the option Facebook Ads (Top Bar) 4. Beside the tab ' Allow ads on platform pages to show my information to' Select 'No One" 5. Right at the bottom of the page you find the second option 'Show my social actions in Facebook Ads to' again choose the option 'No One' With this your done and will ensure that Facebook Ads do not use yo...
