Facebook Launches Mobile Feature 'Find Friends Nearby'

[brightcove video="1705132361001" /]

Facebook has launched a new feature for mobile, Find Friends Nearby, which will help you find people in your vicinity.

This will come in handy if you meet, for example, a John Smith and would like to add him on Facebook without being confused by the hundreds of other Facebook users with that name.

In order to find a user through Find Friends Nearby, you and the person you're looking for must both have the feature turned on.

Does this new feature seem useful or creepy?
