Facebook has unveiled their much anticipated geo-location based product: Facebook Places. Facebook places currently is only available within the United States to those who have mobile access to Facebook. Places basically is Facebook’s Foursquare, it basically let’s you tag your location to your status update.

In the past there have been robberies where the burglars used Twitter to find out when the owners weren’t home and went through with the robbery using the app custom tailored for such a plan: Twitter. Now, with Facebook’s much larger & rather more casual user base we can only imagine the possibilities.

Just like Twitter joined hands with TweetMeme for the launch of their Tweet button. Facebook did the same with Foursquare only they were much smarter, they didn’t give Foursquare anything, Not even early access to the Facebook Places API. Really Foursquare? being on stage with the potential threat, only you know what you’re doing.

To access Facebook Places all you have to do is:

• Go to The United States
• Get yourself a mobile connection
• Go to touch.facebook.com or access it using Facebook for iPhone
• and that’s it! you should see the places icon.

Easy Peasy! Now you can share that you’ve moved.
