So Now Facebook Has Check-Ins — What About Twitter?

At an event on Wednesday, Facebook unveiled Places, their new location element that allows users to check-in to venues. Obviously, this mimics the core feature of smaller startups like Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt, and dozens of others. The move of the big boys into this space was inevitable, but it is somewhat surprising that it has taken this long.

Senh: I’m glad that I currently don’t get too many check-in’s on my twitter stream. I don’t find them useful at all. I use Facebook to keep in touch with people, and Twitter as pretty much an RSS reader and marketing tool. It makes more sense on Facebook, but not really on Twitter. Still, now that Facebook is doing check-ins, I doubt Twitter will be waiting too long to launch theirs.

It's also beginning to be like The Matrix where everyone starts interacting in the virtual world instead of the REAL world with these virtual places.

Facebook's Foursquare competitor is imminent

The long-rumored geolocation "check-in" feature at Facebook is slated to debut within weeks, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNET

Senh: Sure, go ahead. Twitter's already jumping into this geolocation stuff. I don't use Foursquare, so I don't know what the big deal is. I feel kinda creeped out by it. I always get these twitter messages from people who use it giving out the location. I really don't want people to know where I am, personally.
