| Facebook Places Launch |
If you are a die hard fan of facebook apps, you may no longer call in sick at office and enjoy the day watching movie. Neither can you tell your wife about so called meeting in office to spend the evening with your special colleague. Facebook on Wednesday, 17th August has launched its latest feature, a location based check in application called Places.
When you dare to disclose your location to your buddies you can “check in” and select from places nearby. If you do not find name of your place, you also have an option to add your favorite restaurant or pub or wherever you are. You can also check about the whereabouts of other facebook users who have checked in, even if they are not on your friends list.
As you have been tagging friends on facebook in photographs, similarly you can tag friends as well to show with whom you are hanging out.
So no more excuses avoiding the trip to grumpy aunt’s house. She knows, despite having an upset stomach you are still eating out.
On the other hand, this would be a great marketing tool for restaurants and shops.
