Looking at Facebook's news feed patent
,----[ Quote ]
| I wonder what is Facebookâs strategy here. They
| could simply be looking to stifle competitors.
| The obvious result of this is that they will
| probably attempt to get licences from some
| prominent social networks and the
| aforementioned open source projects. In the
| longer run, this could be used to become the
| only name in social networking. Not good news
| at all.

,----[ Quote ]
| That patent itself focuses on making sure
| businesses can better target their ads based on
| location information so that they can do things
| such as price arbitration (e.g. figuring out
| prices for items near you and getting the best
| deal). It also deals with the user interface
| and defining geographic areas.
