Facebook Places – Facebook Feature Updates
Starting last Wednesday August 18, 2010, Facebook users who access their Facebook accounts through their iPhone can now use Facebook Places to “check-in” and tell the world where you are at.
So what is Facebook Places?
Those familiar with other check-in type mobile apps such as Foursquare should have no problem using this new Facebook feature.
Basically its a feature that allows users to tag their physical location and share that information with their Facebook friends. You will need to be using the most recent version of the Facebook application for the iPhone or if your mobile browser supports HTML5 and Geolocation, you can access it through touch.facebook.com.
Say you found a delicious new Sushi restaurant that you just have to share with your friends you can tag it. Say you are at the movies, the mall shopping, at a concert or even Disneyland, you can tag your self and any friends that are with you to let all your other friends know where you are, all with just the simple click of a button.
When you “check-in” at a location, you, along with who ever is tagged with you, will show up as a status update on your page and in your friends News Feed letting everyone know where you are and who’s with you.
Say good bye to those next day conversations of the concert you were both at and didn’t even know it. Facebook Places is a perfect way for meeting up with friends who you didn’t even know were at the same place.
Just be careful to set up your Facebook Places Privacy Settings so you don’t have any stalkers
