Facebook recently launched their newest feature called Places. The new feature is a location-sharing app and you can now have a better idea where your friends are, who they are with and what's around them.

The new feature works much like the ones from startups Gowalla and FourSquare. Bing Maps earlier this year made a deal with FourSquare to integrate their app on the user's location, where a user can comment on the place and on the businesses around it so when another user wants to find what's on that place, they can easily know what to expect from the people's comment.

With Facebook Places, once a user location is pinned, it will stay on Facebook's database, unless the one who put it there wants it deleted or changed.

It's like a digital check-in you and your friends can use to know where each other are. It comes with privacy settings of course and you can control who can see where you are and who can't.

The app will soon be incorporated on very user in Facebook. It will also be offered in third party apps and Facebook's mobile version will also be updated to accommodate the changes.
