Facebook acquires Glancee by EpIcInCoGnItO 2012/05/06 15:36
Facebook has just made its second big acquisition of 2012, picking up a social location application that you probably haven't heard of outside of Silicon Valley land.
Glancee, the iOS and Android application, allowed users to find new friends based on their current locations. We say this in past tense, for the app can no longer be found on either the Android Market or Apple's App Store.
Fire up the app, and you could use Glancee to generate a list of nearby Glancee users and discover what friends or interests you both have in common. You could then add the to-be-pal as a "Favorite" user – which sounds kind of like friendly stalking, but not really – or strike up an online chat to determine whether you could eventually seal the friendship deal in real life.
And you can expect the Facebook acquisitions to keep on coming.
"Expect us to invest heavily in our mobile presence, even if mobile monetization is uncertain and will take time," said Facebook CFO David Ebersman in a video located on Facebook's "Investment Roadshow Presentation" website, launched in advance of the company's IPO.
