Facebook Places...Tell Everybody Where You Are...NOT!

I have a privacy issue with Facebook as it is and now they are rolling out Facebook Places. Facebook Places is a location based application. Location based apps are the now big thing, just look at the success of FourSquare and Gowalla. Bottom line you tell everybody where you are when you "check in" The location based sites are very popular and tens of thousands of people use them. Me personally, I just don't really like it or understand the why of it. For that matter I don't understand why people have pictures of their children as their Facebook profile?!?! Why would you do that? Oh well more on that some other time.

On Facebook Places your friends can check you in to places, much the same as tagging you in a photo, YIKES! So be sure to set your privacy settings for Facebook Places.

What I am trying to say is keep a check on your Facebook privacy settings with this new Facebook feature: Places, and I will be keeping my eye on the new feature, to see what happens!
