Geolocation Facebook: Facebook has now joined the rest of the social media world by announcing a new feature called "Places,". Place allows users to "check in" to a geographical location and broadcast that info to friends. This feature is made for use with mobile devices, Places also allows users to see who else has checked in at a particular location and even tag friends who are there with them.
The Places feature is already available to all Facebook users that has the latest version of Facebook app on their iPhone or that uses a browser that supports HTML5 and geolocation, and is pointed at http://touch.facebook.com.
As soon as you get those requirements, follow these steps to use Facebook geolocation;
- From the Facebook homepage, tap the "Check in" button, which will show a list of places that the app identifies as being near you based on the location data sent from your phone.
- If the place you're at doesn't show up on the list, you can add it or search for it manually.
- If you have friends with you, you can essentially check in for them by tagging them when you check in.
- If there are others (not your friends) in that same location, there is a "People Here Now" feature that shows other Facebook users that are near you.
