Facebook Places Launched

Right now, Facebook is launching Facebook places. An app for your iphone, and eventually other devices such as Android, where you can share through Facebook where you are by “checking in”. Find out what and who is around you. The idea is that your Facebook friends will know where you are and, if they happen to also be nearby, then why not meet up? Or if you are at a place where you just need to let all your friends know that you are there, then this is the product for you!

If you are a user of foursquare then you are already using what is essentially a location-based tagging application.

Places is rolling out in the US before anywhere else so until further notice we will just have to continue typing in where we are.
