Facebook Places

If you've heard about that new Facebook feature that tells everyone where you are, don't panic.

If you use Facebook, you may have seen friends warning you about Facebook Places. It's a new feature available that let's people know where you are, and what you're doing. Sound scary? Don't worry, it's nothing automatic. Facebook Places is an application you would need to choose to use on your smartphone. It's possible to use it on your computer too, but it's nothing that will happen automatically. If you don't choose to check in, your location isn't revealed.

If you do like the idea of Facebook Places, or if you're still concerned about it, just go to your Facebook privacy settings. Hit customize, and you'll be able to see all the options.
