Facebook Places is a Stalkers Dream Feature

Aug 18

Posted by Facebook Stalker in Developers, Facebook Applications, News | No Comments

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.

Well, don’t be surprised when you start getting for your email address by Facebook applications this month.

The Developer Roadmap for Facebook was just released which states:

Developers will be able to ask users to share their primary email addresses (for example, firstname.lastname@domain.com).

Not such a bad thing?

I’m not opposed to the change too much, I mean it makes sense that applications should be able to request permission to have your email but there are a TON of crappy applications out there on Facebook whose only purpose is to SPAM your average joe-sixpack, and this might be bad for the unknowing user.

Anyways, as our philosophy goes here, be aware and knowledgable, or… get spammed, stalked, etc. This is your online identity, and we advise that you protect it.

What current, legitmate Facebook application would you like to have your email address?

Any others?
