    Facebook just launched Facebook places, a tool similar to Foursquare, Gowalla eg. What are your opinions about it? I can't check it out yet, since I'm not in the US, but I'd love to hear some opinions about this. :)

    Also, I can't wait to see how they will develop this.

    Places = invasion of privacy. Funny story; I have guy that TOTALLY scammed me out of ~$200 and sold me a junk script. He used places on his iphone, he posted "at home" and it had exact coordinates to his house. I sent him a "i'm sueing you" letter. I <3 places ;) But seriously, DONT USE IT!

    I used to work at Facebook and can tell you that their interests is to stay the leader. They constantly are changing stuff to adapt to what is "in".

    I must admit im intrigued as to what its all about. I have it on my iphone and every time i click it it just says "This feature will be available in your region soon. Thank you for your patience!"

    If its what seems to be an app to show your location at all times, i hope its one that has an option to turn it off, as i do love facebook, but il be dammed if i want people to know my exact location at all times. Im sure the fb brain bots will have thought of this lil issue, but who knows till i have access to it!
