Anyone recall the ability to see where your friends last logged in from at their school? ex: "Chris last logged in from Simmons Hall".

I found it pretty interesting they had these names, given the rDNS didn't resolve to anything descriptive.



When did it do that? I was in pretty early, but dont remember that one....woulda been nice!


It ended in September 2006. It was cool because you could see the other person's IP, which was useful because you could then use your Google analytics to see which hot girls were clicking the links from your facebook profile to your home page.


I totally forgot about this, but remember seeing my friends "in the library" or dorm room.
