Google Sightseeing Meets Facebook

Posted by James Turnbull, Friday, 16th November 2007

Does anybody out there use Facebook? Of course you do, I bet you’re only reading this because there’s nothing new on your wall.

Well now all you Facebookers can join the Google Sightseeing Official Facebook thing!

It doesn’t achieve much, but you joined all those “if 3 billion people join I’ll eat my hat”-type groups and never visited them again, right? It’s all about your friend total baby!

Or rather, in this case - fans!

If you need further convincing that Google Sightseeing needs to be on your favourites list, we’ve recently been ranked the 452nd most popular blog in the whole world! Well, according to those fine ladies and gents over at Bloglines anyway.

    You should make a FaceBook app, so it would show interesting places on people’s profiles.
