For the same reason, the “Where have you been?” feature asks who you were with. As multiple people are often tagged in each photo, Facebook gains that same data about your friends. If you list San Francisco as your current city, but say many of the your photos in are from Mountain View, Facebook could know to show you ads for Mountain View restaurants. The feature focuses on getting you to add location to photos you’re tagged in because Facebook wants a better idea of where you and your friends spend your time. You could probably add location to all your tagged photos quickly as each only takes a few seconds. The wizard slides you forward and asks you tag the next photo once you’d added location to the last one. Now, you can click “Where have you been?” to share travel memories, or “Add Photos” to bring up a “Where was this?” entry field over a thumbnail strip of photos you’re tagged in. When Timeline became available for developers, Map only showed the Places you’d been tagged at, and didn’t let you directly add new data. To alert people to the feature, Facebook is currently showing news feed stories about friends who’ve updated their maps, and Map can be viewed from mobile thanks to Bing. To navigate to Map directly, you can add ” /map ” to the end of your profile’s URL in this format “/map”. Below the Update Info and Activity Log buttons and next to to your Friends, Photos, and other Timeline View tiles is a drop-down arrow with a number. To access Map, visit your Timeline, which you can enable here. By convincing users to append valuable geographic data to its massive collection of photos with this easy flow, Facebook could improve local ad targeting. The Map feature could seriously advance Facebook’s “location as a layer” plan. You can also now type in a location and share rich stories about whether you’ve been, took a trip, or lived there. Facebook has enhanced the Timeline Map with a wizard that lets you rapidly tag your existing photos with locations. There’s one big new feature in today’s global rollout of Facebook Timeline.
