Facebook Places has finally reached our shores and while I was anticipating about it at first, I became irritated on the day itself when it was launched. Facebook Places works almost like Foursquare, you check in to a location and you tell people where you are and leave a comment to share with your friends. While Places has an advantage of telling you which friends are near you, it is the alert which puts me off. Somehow, it doesn’t stop alerting you where your friends have checked in, I mean, frankly speaking, I doesn’t want to stalk my friend and track their movement.
Apparently, it seems that people are beginning to get addicted to check in and if you don’t believe me, here’s a screen shot of it.
This was just a random screenshot and 4 out of 5 of my friends actually checked into Places. Personally, I thought the job of checking in should be left to Foursquare. What do you think?
