Arrington: Facebook, MySpace Blow it on iPhone without Location
Michael Arrington at TechCruch (via Washington Post) chastises the two social networks because while they offer effective and popular apps for the iPhone, neither added in location, something he says is the only way to draw new users.
But while both applications are useful for heavy users, they won’t drive new users to the services because they failed to leverage the killer iPhone feature - location awareness.
He acknowledges privacy concerns, but seems convinced these can be managed. It does seem these and other players are simply “late to the party” giving Loopt, Whrrl and others a jump on the mobile platform.
