One of the biggest and most popular social networking sites, facebook is working on a new mobile application ‘location-tracking’ that helps users to search for their friends, who are nearby according to bloomberg reports. This new application will track the location of users through their smart-phones, and it will also run when the program is not working on a mobile phone.

The social networking giant is planning to launch this wonderful application by mid-march, but Facebook refused to comment on the Bloomberg report. As per the reports, a Mobile Location-tracking application is developed by engineers Glancee and Gowalla.

Facebook is adding features to help it profit from the surging portion of its more than 1 billion users who access the service via handheld devices. The tracking app could help Facebook sell ads based on users' whereabouts and daily habits. It may also raise the hackles of consumers and privacy advocates concerned about the company's handling of personal information.

According to the reports, this much anticipated project is lead by Peter Deng, former Microsoft and Google employee, now director of Facbook’s various products. Well, the release date of this application is still not

declared, but this application surely warns various users after all this application will track the location.
