A cool new product for those prone to forgetting where they parked is on Kickstarter. The device uses Bluetooth 4.0, an app, and a USB dongle in the car to help you find where you park.

Facebook app use on the iPhone is trailing the use of the Android app in daily active users. The iPhone is still tops in monthly active users though.
