Facebook’s mobile ubiquity and push for always-on location sharing came to fruition today with the launch of hyper-local advertising that could convince people to visit stores they’re nearby. Soon, brick-and-mortar businesses will be able to target ads to anyone who lives or was recently within a specific distance of their store. Advertisers can set a radius as small as a mile and… Read MoreTwitter Sues The Government Over Data-Request Disclosures

Oct 07, 8:46PM
A new Facebook app project might try to embrace the kind of anonymous sharing that we’ve seen on apps like Secret and Whisper, according to a new report by NYT’s Mike Isaac.

The app should arrive some time… Read MoreTune In To TechCrunch Radio On Sirius XM 102 Indie Tonight
