Facebook Places on the iPhone

Facebook Places is now live. It does three things essentially. Allows you to share where you're, find your friends and discover new places.
It comes with all the privacy settings. Either you can opt out of it altogether, so friends can't tag you or you will be notified every time you're tagged, so you can remove individual tags manually. Businesses can claim their shops on the map.
Right now, you need an iPhone to start using the app, but soon all mobile devices will be supported. The API allows developers to plug-in to the system and create games and other applications. It's not yet live in all regions, but will be soon. Wonder which agency and brand will take advantage of this new technology first for their marketing activities.

So far, FB's implementation is lame. I much prefer BrightKite for it's much more feature-rich application of the idea. Not only can it push the updates to Facebook (and Twitter), but you can add a Photo (and map of course) to your check-in. And it's MUCH clearer and easier to control who you're sharing these updates with. Foursquare would be my second choice.
