Facebook Looking to Get Healthy

Although still in the formative stage, Reuters is reporting that Facebook

is exploring the possibility of entering the health field through communities that would match Facebook users suffering from similar illnesses. The company is also considering preventative care apps that would target people looking to improve certain aspects of their lifestyle. As social networking proliferates, people have become more comfortable about sharing their conditions online. The one major concern, according to Facebook executives, is the area of privacy. This has been an area of concern in the past for Facebook. Shares of FB are trading up .77 percent at 77.68.
