  • "Check-ins" "Places" dont work like it used too! bring it back!!!! stopped for me 2 week ago.......

    Feb 16th 2012

  • I wouldn't be surprised if you get kidnap one day.

  • You're hanging out at the Grand Canyon and you stare at your f**king phone?!?!

  • Setting your activity to ONLY your friends you trust AND using this feature is what its about.

  • facebook is really cool.. very big help, best way to communicate with old friends... :)

  • if your so-called "friends" don't call you up to actually hang out with them in the first place, why bother looking them up on Places and asking yourself "where my friends at?", it's kinda sad really. FOREVER ALONE.

  • dont add stalker, dont add people you dont know. put your page to private. only have people you are willing to share everything with on your facebook, you know the way it was designed to do.

  • Its all optional. If you don't like it, don't use it

  • with those looks i doubt you have friends !

  • @abbasitareq = what a fag

  • creepy people!

  • I recall my opinion of Foursquare...it sucks now...bad

  • my stalker 1:40

  • Places....ok, 7 out of 10....Foursquare rules 10 out of 10!

  • who the fuck smell vegetable

  • Can you check in on AT&T's social network?!?!?

  • Osama Bin Laden must have made a mistake by checking in his location with facebook.

  • @chuayl94 I laughed

  • But I Don't Think That Places Is Covering Morocco

  • Where are my friends at..xD

  • .....or you could just ring your 'friends'!!

  • 1:14

    negro

  • Is it like "Hey~ I'm not home! Come and rob me!!" ?

  • Facebook places can get you in trouble! Especially if you're hiding in a Mansion!

  • There's always an Indian guy in a computer based company...

  • best facebook hack ever /watch?v=Fd0di5HFboY

  • Comment removed

  • steampoweref (dot) com let me hack my GF facebook account :D

  • not everybody has a iphone, black berry, android,.... or ipod for that matter and i cant figure out how to checkin on the phone i have now

  • Comment removed

  • Big Brother is watching us! GOD BLESS US ! 

  • does anyone knoe how2check in on a computer?

  • Lol, I love this advertisement, makes this thing seem so dreamy haha... Meanwhile it has way more cons than pros!

  • what if i don't like the person thats a few blocks away from me...have to go through that awkward conversation with them, act all interested in what there doing, nobody wants that.

  • too bad I can't block Places-messages anywhere. The hypocrits will let me block foursquare though.

  • does this only work on the iphone?

  • that baby aint chinese!!

  • My Stalker is gonna love this!

  • There is actually an app for that. It allows you to fake you location on Facebook place.

    it's called location spoofer on app store

  • why would you add friends that will rob you?

  • @fsxpilot21 If we knew who would rob or kill us we'd just simply stay away from those people. But we never know, do we?

  • @fsxpilot21 thats so ignorant. nobody is gonna know the true intentions of a "friend" until the actions reveal itself. and for that matter, lets be honest and not bullshit ourselves here: most of the friends we keep on facebook arent really apart of the inner circle of friends we actually hang out with on a normal basis, their just acquaintances (im guilty of this too). lastly, it would be foolish to think your status will solely be viewed by just the people on our friends list.

  • oh fuck off! If your at the grand canyon and open up facebook, I think you may need to be given a little unsuspecting nudge!

  • Check in= please rob me.

  • Does this work with rotary phones? How do I tell people when I'm at home?

    Hey, I'm "cool".  I'm "down". I'm "hip" to the "check-in", the "tweeting", and the "in-game chat", and the "texting", and whatever the hell else you bloody kids do these days.

  • Or you can check out the Places Facebook application here:

    It's called PlaceCheck and you can find it on Facebook in the app directory.

    All of yours and your friends Check-Ins can be viewed, commented on - the works!

  • SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!!

  • These feature works with any mobile facebook app, such as Andriod and others (you don't have to have an iPhone). And for those who don't want to let the world know where you're at, disable that feature. Also, each one of us is responsible for who we add on facebook, the term "friends" is not the best, but at the end of the day we choose who we add!!!

  • Beautifully made video.

  • hm....not everyone has IPHONES for the "Checking into places app" like you make it seem in the video.

  • we used it to check in at work wich is really cool

    but other people will use it for stalking

    that the only problem i see thumbs up if you agree

  • NOT IN IPHONE YET

  • Come to Hungary!!!!!!

  • Facebook Places is not a bad program, but being tagged by someone else without your consent is THE MOST FUCKING ANNOYING THING EVER.

  • Facebook seems to be unibrow central.

  • If your that paranoid, dont use the facebook "place".... as simple as that

  • This happens at our workplace a lot. Lot of conversations go behind the doors. It got even more interesting once some people started using a facebook app workplacetalk. What;s next?

  • How come this is not in Ireland ?

  • facebook? face-fuck-you!!!!

    facebook? face-fuck-you!!!!

    facebook? face-fuck-you!!!!

    facebook? face-fuck-you!!!!

  • Well people already put in their statuses where they are.

  • I'm not sure what the big fuss is all about. If people didn't want others to know where they are, just disable Places and don't use it. If you do use the feature, then you have nothing to worry about unless you made your profile public or you have added strangers as friends. If you don't know how to secure your profile properly, that's no one else's fault but your own. Let people be. No one is forcing you to use Places.

  • @sourplumberry Yea, no one will force you until your wife/husband starts questioning you why your "facebook places" is off! And from this a huge argument will come. It's so meaningless. I'm not even worried about stalking or getting robbed, it's just the fact that some annoying people who i do not want to see all the time will know where I am. If I want to see someone I call or text them, it's pretty simple isn't it?

  • Comment removed

  • You guys are fucking retards!! there is no way in hell that I'll broadcast to the world that i am out of my house so that they can come and rob me! This is outright invasion of privacy.. Fuckin' loosers who want to shout online.. because nobody would care to listen to them in person in the first place.. too much information!! these bastards have watched the movie "Serendipity" too much.. they think they're freaking John Cusack!!! facebook= 1 step to 666 !!!

  • STOP BITCHING, its the way of the fucking world, if it wasn't for forward thinking like this your counter-productive thoughts wouldn't be able to be "voted up" on youtube

  • Sort your eyebrow out. 

  • WTF?? BRAIN WASH LIFE TO BRING MONEY TO FAKEBOOK!!!

    I DON'T EVERYBODY TO KNOW WHERE AND HOW I TAKE MY SHIT

  • just an apple app wont make a difference!!!!! :(((

  • this would only be good if you only had your bffs for friends on fb, which nobody has.

  • see how easy it is to track som1... just with one email address they can access all of your personal details and get to know everything about you... i would rather like to get lost somewhere ... :/

  • that indie guy is just UGLY

  • i see a lot of iphonez :D

  • bullshit

  • facebook has changed social life

  • Have you ever heard about text message?! ;-)

  • how do i check in?

  • Just found your channel, very interesting indeed.

  • serendipitous,serendipitous,se­rendipitous. stfu. 

  • These people in the video look like they never go out !!! They could star in big bang theory !!! And lets say that your boss also can check where you are, where you hang out, if you are really sick or you just wanted a day off !!! Nice memories can not be captured in any way! You live them and you walk on !!! And from time to time you remember them and smile! And if I want to see someone I will !!! I don't need any application to force me or remind me !!! It is really a "black" part of FB !!!

  • The guy in the beginning was apart of a shooting (he was a the shooter) only days later...

  • realy instead of slmply

  • Really? Instead of simply tweeting/texting someone/putting it as your status where you're at, they want you have to sign in to the FB app, go to places, look up where you're at and check in? Dumb. What if you're just going to Micky D's? By the time you check in you'll already be outta the drive thru.

  • MONOBROW!

  • THIS IS NOT SAFE! Are you trying to put teens in danger? This feature should be removed ASAP! Not safe! Not safe! Not safe! Stalkers and crooks will follow you where ever you go. I don't like this feature. You just making it worse! For godsake remove it before it's to late!

  • DEAR FACEBOOK. PLEASE MAKE A 'CLEAR ALL LIKES' FEATURE. KTHX.

  • why everyone have fucking iphone?!

  • It's awesome, now that friends are using it, we can all see where each other is and chat about lunch

  • does anyone know the name of the song that's featured by the end of the video (piano)? thx

  • the people talking sound geeky like they need to get some more life experience.

  • make sure you dislike the video to let facebook know just how stupid this idea is.

  • This is one of the most patronising things I have ever seen!! As if I am incapable of seeing my friends when I want without needing the help of my guardian Facebook!

    This is a data collection tool that will sell data of our great lives to sad companies looking to sell us sad things to try and make our great lives sadder... And I'm a marketer and I'm still insulted! The beginning of the end of facebook... The beginning of the end!!

  • IDK what's more FAIL, Facebook places or the Brit trying to fake an American accent.

  • Facebook Places, a worthless innovation for less privacy

  • This is designed that if u work while on benefits some fucker will trick you and you will blow yurself up telling them wear u are if this isn't a government scam I will paint meself black. Be warned be one step ahead at all times

  • Break barriers!? THE BARRIERS WHERE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE TO AVIOD PEOPLE! RAHAGHAHGAHGH

    I deleted my facebook its run by the CIA and its a great way to stalk you.

  • Either if its good or not, lots of people are still going to use it, but my point is that FB is not the only one using (places) there are others like foursquare (im not making an add here) but the problem here is that you already have like 80% of your info/life at FB, instead of using that option on FB, use other social site, its great if you can avoid letting the other 20% of your life, out of FB, its fine to share lots of things, but i think its better not to share them all in one page.

  • Really? Really!? How narcissistic do you have to be to use this BS? For crying out loud, if anyone thinks this is a great feature, get over yourself. Seek therapy. Like the 300 FB friends you have give a flying bat shit where the hell you are or what you frickin' think about the place. Slick looking video FB but the phony caring-hipster testimonials and empty egotistical generation you're targeting make me want to hurl. Wow! What's the world coming to?

  • This will be the advent of every FB user being spammed by randoms wanting to add you then placing you at their business thenspamming your friends etc, etc.

    This is exactly how MySpace lost majority of it's users to FB. This will either be the future or the death of FB.

  • Places = Stalkers

  • this is depressing

  • Comment removed

  • Fact 1)All the guys that talked to this video are Gay.

    Fact 2)I'm a racist..

  • I can't use Places on my region yet.

  • R U TRYING TO GET KIDS RAPED AND STALKED U GUYS ARE FUCKIN FUCKIN FUCKING RETAREDS U DONT NEED 30 YRS U GOT FUCKIN MEMORY DUMBSHIT

  • fucking worst idea ever

  • If you don't know where your friends like to "hang out" they're NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!

  • so why would you freaking turn on places automatically....shudnt u tell us if ur gna add something liek this.....i dont want everyone knowing where ive been or what im doing all the time.....really poor thinking........

  • 1984!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Someone who you don't know adds you. Then stalks and kills you....

  • FB is developed by some fucking retards that dont understand that i inherently dont want anyone to know where the fuck i am, if i do i give someone a call. I cant imagine anything worse than having someone keep track of where i am. Also, you dont have friends on FB, the ''friends'' list includes every fucking peace of crap that you ever met.... why would i want them to know that im close around??!!

    FUCK YOU FACEBOOK

  • Technology, get used to it. Get in front or get left behind.

  • imagine that...a friend tells you they can't hang out and next thing you know you catch them in a lie as they're hanging out somewhere with other people. They just weren't in the mood to see you,LOL

  • it scare's me that....

  • This is bullshit. Im deleting my facebook.

    Seriously guys. This is too much. The next thing is that they are gonna connect your RFID chip to this crap. HOW ABOUT NO.

  • @batty9 its opt in silly..chill out

  • @martinaoe2 Its opt out. Go check your fb settings and get back to us all...

  • @batty9 Go right up to Zuck and scream "HOW ABOUT NOOOOOOO YA CRAZY YANK BASTERD??!!!!"

  • Comment removed

  • This is a stalking pedophiler's dream come true. Eff you Facebook!

  • If you have go use Facebook to see friends photos or what their fav. movie or book is...they're not your friend.

  • Hey they just started dinner at a restaurant in town!

    Let's rob their house!

  • @Vamos1982 well, why do you guys have robbers and criminals in your friends list???? it says: only friends can check out where you are, IF you allow them to, of course. just uncheck the "places" box in your profile.. problem solved!!

  • Please wash my brain - so i believe in this new level of pointlessness

  • From Foursquare to FB Places? At least Foursquare has some kind of originality that places doesn't have. It becomes a competition between friends.

  • Does anyone know when it is coming to Canada?

  • @FullSolo yesterday...

  • @ashleyaubreyiv No it still says this feature will be available in your region soon.

  • You don't have to press "check in" if you don't want to.

    YOU CHOOSE IF YOU WANT TO LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, RETARD.

  • @SR22DETT your friends can check you in as well, just like tagging you in a photo. Unless you opt out before that happens. Go back and read the fine print cos FB has already made you visible in Places.

  • Facebook

    Places:

    This feature will be available in your region soon.

    Thank you for your patience.

  • they act like this is a genius idea. anyone coulda thought this up. its been thought of a long time ago. its just these fools are putting it out there. but those ppl from cali.... gotta be all fuckin weird n retarded. thats where all the dumb dumbs go......... california.

  • and if u wanna kill someone....... you know where to find em. hahahahhaha. this is something they shoulda just scrapped........

  • @XvXCLEE17XvX awwww but how will FB make more Billions if they can't target ads at you everytime you go somewhere. I guess they just have to scrap it after their first 50 Billion in revenue.

    Nope there is too much money at stake. Places is not about friends, it's about money for FB.

  • They always present everything as soooooooooooooooo positive ... but we all know it s not like that ... I have the maximum privacy on fb and still.... sometimes I wish I didn't have it ... but all my networking is there .. for my art , my music ... everything !!!!

  • facebool is shit

  • Ultimate Stalking 

  • haha this totally feels like Apple's product videos

  • Great video professionally done. Facebook and you? So those 2,000 "friends" you blindly accepted? can now post you as visiting their online viagra store. HOOYAH! You just opened up a new way for PPC noobs to make money.

  • Nothing about FB "places" is serendipitous. FB is quickly taking pedestrianization to new extremes with this blatantly segmented ad spot.

    Aren't you insulted?

  • STAAAAAAAAAAAAALKERS, I do not want that! I removed the notifications!

  • Come on, guys! Facebook Places is really cool, its the future ... I know everyone thinks that FB stalks us but its not true ... u can turn off the location service from FB on iPhone and thats it, you know what I mean?!

  • @JohnJohnLegend how is this in anyway cool? whatever happened to telling people where you are? this is creepy if someone can just look on my facebook and be like oh there he is! stalker gf's, friends you kind of like but not really...I know you can turn it off but I don't see who the hell would turn it on! his is not the future...believe me everybody I know that knows about this feels the same way...and reading these comments so do all these people....so the future? no

  • There are definitely wrong ways to use the application so do so with caution but if your keeping your Facebook Friends to only people you truly know what do you have to worry about?

  • Comment removed

  • i think this will create a whole new generation of children who thinks nothing of privacy, and will share everything for the entire world.

    EXACTLY what some politicians would love.

  • Comment removed

  • If I want someone to come meet me I'll fucking tell them to meet... and if I want to remember what I did that day a year ago Ill just remember...this is so retarded they try to make it all sentimental and emotional...cut the soft piano you fucking retards and play some choir demonic music in the backround cause this is the next level of stalking and invasion of privacy...personally I think its a way for them to keep tabs on EVERYBODY...thats if they are not already...

  • @intunewithzearth come on .. grow up.

  • @eagle003 lol lighten up...i thought it was funny

  • @intunewithzearth o okay xD just "hate" those people who don't evolve with the technology. (excuse my english )

  • @eagle003 yea I understand...I still dont agree with this though...fine if other people use it but I know I'm not going to...I have a built in places on my phone...its called text somebody to tell them Im at a certain place...then if someone comes to where I am at I actually wanted that specific person to know where Im at...sorry I just dont understand this it seems pointless

  • How smart can you be? There are privacy rules.

  • This is not for Russia yet ...

  • Ladies and Gentlemen...introducing "SHITTER"...the new way to share your bowel movements with the world. Taking a huge dump? Just "Shitter" your friends and their network to let everybody join in on the GPS-toilet fun!
