‘Facebook makes local push with Place Tips’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
Patricio Robles says, “Facebook is the largest online social network in the world, but it’s increasingly looking to make its billion-user service relevant offline as well.
The latest example of that can be seen with Place Tips, a feature “that helps people learn about and connect with the places they visit.”
Launched as a test earlier this year, Facebook yesterday announced that it is rolling outPlace Tips more broadly with a heavy emphasis on local business.
Place Tips functions by displaying relevant information about a place to Facebook mobile app users who visit that location and have opted in to sharing their location with Facebook. In the case of businesses, this information may include posts from a Facebook Page, reviews and upcoming events“.
