Facebook Acquires Some Location Experts With Nextstop Buy

Facebook’s location service, long reported to be in the works, has yet to show up. But if and when it does, perhaps the folks at Nextstop will end up working on it. Facebook has bought the two-year-old San Francisco-based start-up, which lets users share tips about things to do and places to go (like Foursquare, sorta kinda). Nextstop will shut down its existing site in September.
