Slide 5: 

How to Use Places If you want to tell people where you are, you need a smartphone with GPS or you’ll have to use the Facebook touch mobile site on a browser that supports both HTML 5 and geolocation. http://sharing.abcactionnews.com/sharewxyz//photo/migration/2010/04/10/6203E4208BDC8749A25C68896EAD1145_20100410061137_320_240.JPG , http://www.reuters.com/resources/r/?m=02&d=20100311&t=2&i=74119511&w=460&fh=&fw=&ll=&pl=&r=2010-03-11T134103Z_01_BTRE62A120J00_RTROPTP_0_MOBILE-FAIR

Slide 6: 

You begin by installing a free application for one of these services. You then "check in" to a place by choosing it from a list of nearby venues on your screen. You can also add venues on your own. If you don't check in, Facebook won't magically "know" you're there. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs155.ash2/41107_472081566728_20531316728_6309714_1280015_n.jpg

Slide 7: 

To use Places, go to the Places tab on the iPhone application or touch.facebook.com. You will be asked if Facebook is allowed to know your location. Once you click “allow,” you’ll enter the Places interface. From there, you can share your location with friends, find out where your friends are (if they’re using Places), and discover new places near you. http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/places-iphone-420.jpg

Lot of applications are pulling information from Places, scraping it for data about people, locations, groups and more. Initially, Gowalla, Foursquare, Booyah (creators of MyTown and Nightclub City) and Yelp will integrate with Facebook Places. If you use a Yelp mobile app for checkins, you’ll be able to push those checkins to Facebook Places, as well. Gowalla and Foursquare checkins can also be pushed to Facebook Places. Booyah plans to launch a location-based social game called InCrowd; it will be built on Facebook Places.

Facebook Privacy : 

Facebook Privacy http://www.wordstream.com/images/screenshots/facebook-privacy.gif Your checkins will appear by default on your profile, in the news feed and in the activity stream for that place. Even your friends can, by default, check you in without your explicit approval or permission.

Slide 11:

Then choose "Privacy Settings" and click "Customize settings." Look for a pull-down menu next to "Places I check in to." Click on it, and select "Custom." Facebook's settings allow you to exclude specific people from seeing your check-ins, or you could authorize only a select few.

Slide 12: 

Facebook will send you an email notification if a friend tries to check you in someplace. If you say "Yes," friends will now always be able to check you in. If you choose "Not now," you'll get another notification the next time someone tries to check you in. You can't pick which friends can check you in, nor can you authorize a check-in for one-time only.  To prevent your friends from checking you in once and for all, you have to return to your privacy settings. Once you're in "Customize settings," choose "Disabled" next to "Friends can check me in to Places.“ http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-speech-bubbles-260.jpg

Facebook Rolls Out 'Check In,' And Expect More Privacy Criticisms : 

Facebook Rolls Out 'Check In,' And Expect More Privacy Criticisms

Places for Businesses : 

Places for Businesses If you’re a business, you can use Places to give Facebook your business’ location. Once your location has been added to Places, either by you or by another local Facebook user, just go to the Place page from Facebook.com and click the link that says “Is this Place Page your business?” If you claim the location as your business, it will become a Facebook Page. You can then post updates to people who like the Page, update your business information and more.

Slide 16: 

Verifying a Place claim requires uploading some kind of official document, such as a local business license or Better Business Bureau accreditation.

When Places Go Wrong : 

When Places Go Wrong In addition to changing your personal privacy settings, you can also report Places that aren’t correct or that infringe on your own rights somehow. Facebook allows users to report Places for incorrect data, abusive behavior, the permanent closure of a business or duplication of other content. Reported Places are flagged; removal may not occur immediately. You can immediately remove checkins from your own profile, and you can also untag yourself if someone else has checked you in without your approval. Just click the “remove” button next to the story on your profile or news feed.

Slide 18: 

For now, it’s only available in the U.S. The rollout begins immediately. http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/assets/library/426-facebook--126148960056964600.jpg

Slide 19: 

The more information you broadcast about yourself online, the more that marketers, strangers, future or current employers and anyone else will know about you. http://www.buzzwordchasers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/buzzwordchasers_geolocation-facebook-privacy_jun30.jpg
