Facebook Places gives you a way to virtually check-in to real life locations and see if any of your other Facebook friends are nearby. The catch? You need to have an iPhone or your mobile browser must support HTML 5 and geolocation. The other catch? By default “Places” is enabled in your Facebook privacy settings so even if you are just testing it out you need to check who you’ll be sharing this data with first – unless you don’t care.
It’s a simple fix but something I felt should be addressed. What better way than with a screencast! To learn about Facebook Places and see how to update your privacy settings, watch the screencast below:
