Facebook has become a must have with regard to socialisation . Facebook Places lets people tell every person in your social network your location.

One can tell friends when you are at home, where to have lunch with a map reference and GPS location.

Facebook related criminals have a website where they can know when someone is away from home so they  can break in and steal their computer. The criminals post potential burglary targets according  to information gleaned from social networking sites.  

Facebook Places has extensive privacy settings . No one under the age of 18 is visible to other users. Facebook users should fully utilise the security settings in Facebook Places.
