Facebook may already know a lot about our daily habits - where we check in, what we buy, who we hang out with - but it might be on the cusp on knowing exactly where we are in real-time. A new report out of Bloomberg claims that Facebook is working on its own equivalent of Apple's Find My Friends app - or Google's Latitude, for the more Android-inclined among us.
Bloomberg's report suggests that new Facebook app would "track the location of users" and is set to launch in mid-March - but it's otherwise extremely light on detail. The story neglects to mention that the company rolled the very same thing last June in the form of "Find Friends Nearby" - a hackathon-born mobile feature which the company released and rescinded within hours. And it cites Highlight rather than Facebook-owned Glancee as one of this new(ish) class of constant location tracking apps.
