Really??\u00a0 I have to yet again, go into my privacy setting to stop someone or something on facebook doing something I do not want?\u00a0 Gezz..\u00a0 So here is the latest.\u00a0 Seems that your ‘friends’ can check you into a place for you.\u00a0 Without you being there or even knowing!\u00a0 WTF??\u00a0 Ok, so I’m suppose to be at work and some ‘friend’ checks me into a party to make it look full?\u00a0 Or check in LOTS of friends as a way of spreading the word?\u00a0 Great.\u00a0 Oh, my girlfriend whats to know why I was at a social meet up yesterday when I said I had to work and could not have dinner with her.\u00a0 Oh, thanks ‘friend’.\u00a0 Ug.<\/p>\n

Ok, so how to stop it.\u00a0 Yup, go to your privacy settings and select ‘Friends can check me in to Places’ to Disable. <\/p>\n

I’m not a big fan of checking into places and I only check into 4square if I’m meeting people somewhere just to let them know when I have arrived, so the odds of me ever using the facebook check in was unlikely, now even more so.<\/p>\n

Good job facebook!<\/p>\n
