Maybe you ’re one of the people who are completely comfortable with Facebook Places , Facebook ’s new location - broadcast medium feature . perchance you ca n’t hold back to pop dog all your friends wherever you hang out . cease ! conceive ! Do n’t be a creep !
We ’ve alreadymade our opinion clearon the feature in Facebook Places which appropriate you to tag your friends in a GPS - nail checkout - in , much as you would in a pictorial matter or a status update . But many people will probably be OK with this , and that ’s OK with us . Just do n’t be a creep about it .

Kunur Patel , a author for Advertising Age , learned the surd wayhow not to tick off other people in . She was eating dinner with champion and decided to check herself , and her three fellow traveller , into the eating place . Here ’s what happened when she differentiate them after the fact :
Shock result .
Keep in mind this was a foursome of twenty - somethings , a bunch of typical iPhone - tot up over - sharers who have all been shamed of an incriminating photo or tweet . Among us were at least a mates of Foursquare mayorships and one notorious Facebook photograph tagging program …

So they were all o.k. with being checked in at a Mediterranean joint in Queens , right ? Well , untimely . To my surprisal , the grouping was appalled that I could tag their position without them knowing .
Alert : societal metier étiquette faux pas . Of course , these awkward situations ought to subside once people familiarize themselves with Facebook Places , and checking in becomes more usual . Patel ’s friends probably had never been tagged before in a Places update ( otherwise they would have known that they ’d received an email send word them of her correspond them in . )

Check oneself in is an act of portion out your location with the world . Just as with partake physical objective , we must be heedful not to divvy up with others that which is not ours to portion out . Your dining associate ’ localization belong to them . If you woud like to share this to the universe , simply ask ( either before the meal is serve , or between courses ) if he or she would not mind before you do . In this way , you may avoid being a fucking creepozoid .
Also , Facebook should n’t let multitude tag friends in stop ins without their denotative permission — even once . But that ’s awhole other blog post .
