Register your location with Facebook today! Facebook is not trying to get mobile users to check their location by offering them free Wi-Fi at certain locations. The internet giant is giving businesses free Wi-Fi routers that offer free internet to those who check their location. This incentive may be enough for many mobile users to update their locations as needed. Why pay for an internet connection when you can get it for free at a small check? Facebook will be on a constant lookout for how users interact with their new program. Will this place Facebook ahead of many other social networks? Only time will tell the outcome.
