Facebook Places is a Stalkers Dream Feature


Not only can you find out what your friends are doing, now you can find out where they are! You heard me right. Facebook announced today their new Places feature that will allow you to “Checkin” to different places all around the world.

This is kind of exciting, but kind of scary too, what do you think? Are you more scared or more excited to use the new Places feature?

The feature should be released tomorrow starting with users in the USA and then rolling out to all users soon after. Information can currently be found on their developer documentation as well as in a video of their live announcement.

I don’t know if this line in their policies was recent due to the Stalker Check and Fan Check applications, but Facebook has a line in it’s policies now that would forbid such an application.

Why the “Stalker Check” and “Fan Check” Facebook Applications Disappeared


I don’t know if this line in their policies was recent due to the Stalker Check and Fan Check applications, but Facebook has a line in it’s policies now that would forbid such an application.
 Facebook features. For example:
  • You must not notify a user that someone has removed the user as a friend.
  • You must not track visits to a user’s profile, or estimate the number of such visits, whether aggregated anonymously or identified individually.
