Users have been buying and selling goods for a while now through Facebook groups, but Marketplace now officially formalizes it. The icon for Marketplace should over the next few days replace the Messenger icon in the center of the bottom row on Facebook’s mobile app. Tapping it takes you to an algorithmically generated home page of items Facebook believes you’d be interested in. This is based on the pages you’ve liked and, after some time, any of your viewing, buying, or selling activity within Marketplace.

You can also sell items by providing a photo, name, description, price and location. Browsing can be done by categories or location. By expanding your search radius and changing you

Users have been buying and selling goods for a while now through Facebook groups, but Marketplace now officially formalizes it. The icon for Marketplace should over the next few days replace the Messenger icon in the center of the bottom row on Facebook’s mobile app. Tapping it takes you to an algorithmically generated home page of items Facebook believes you’d be interested in. This is based on the pages you’ve liked and, after some time, any of your viewing, buying, or selling activity within Marketplace.

You can also sell items by providing a photo, name, description, price and location. Browsing can be done by categories or location. By expanding your search radius and changing your location you can see what is available elsewhere.

Currently it is only available on mobile, in the US, UK and New Zealand, though a desktop experience is in the works. Many people are coming to browse, without knowing what they’re looking for. Facebook doesn’t plan on charging, but hopes for eyes for their ads. You won’t have the same protection offered by a company like eBay, however.

Privacy and safety are potential concerns, but they do not allow the sale of drugs, explosives, firearms, animals, alcohol, etc. The ability to report items that violate their policies is in place.

Their hope is that people will have a better idea of who they’re transacting with, since most Facebook profiles represent real people. Some additional information is also listed about you if you choose to sell something.

Lose It! Now Tracks Your Diet by Snapping Photos of Your Food

http://vitals.lifehacker.com/lose-it-now-tracks-your-diet-by-snapping-photos-of-you-1787190592

Lose It! is a popular food and calorie tracking application. They’ve now added the ability to take a picture of of a food and add it to your log. The feature is called Snap it! And it combines their extensive food database with image recognition to provide nutritional information.

This could potentially help streamline the process, but as you might expect, it isn’t perfect. The author of this article, Stephanie Lee, thought broccoli was ravioli, but the more pictures are added, the more it will learn. You can also take a photo and upload it later.

Lose It! Is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
