Review: FindMe - Facebook location tagging for BlackBerry
Do you have a Facebook account? Do you enjoy location based applications? Then this is for you!
FindMe is an application that allows you to tag where you are and share it with your Facebook friends. If you set it right, it would even update your Facebook status with your location. I know I’ve seen some people update their status according to what they are doing or where they are. If you don’t want where you are to be known you can shut the application, leave the area as “unknown” instead of updating where you are, or go dark. FindMe also allows you to set a zip or post code to allow your friends to better find you. This application can also add a box to your Facebook profile that auto updates itself whenever the BlackBerry application updates.
Best of all, this application is free!

FindMe on Facebook and S60 Devices
Facebook regulars might like to note a new version of the FindMe application, now available and in beta for S60. You can find instructions on grabbing it here on
FindMe's Facebook page. It seems as though it uses a similar white-list location system to Nokia Chat, although it uses cell location rather than GPS.

BBGeeks review of FindMe
I like this application. I can see myself getting some great use from FindMe. Whether it is just letting my friends know which of my popular haunts I am at at a particular time, or getting them specific directions to a lesser known location via the map it feature, FindMe will work just fine.
The entire tagging process is quick and easy and was intuitive all the way through.

A quick look at the FindMe Beta
FindMe from ElectricPocket is a relativly recent new beta application they have released a few weeks ago. FindMe utilises GPS or cell tower triangulation (or both) to update your location on Facebook via it's own little application. FindMe doesn't quite broadcast your position; you bookmark locations and FindMe updates your position when your arrive or pass through one of these location. You also have the option to 'go dark' whereby FindMe stop reporting your status.

The FindMe Location Sharing Service
The FindMe system only shares as much location data as you feel comfortable revealing on Facebook. Here’s how it works: Pop in your favorite bar, coffee shop, or other hang-out into the FindMe system on your smartphone and then post the location on your Facebook account. FindMe uses the information gathered from nearby cell phone towers to figure out if you are in or near one of your tagged locations. If you are, the FindMe app on your Facebook account displays your current location.
