Facebook users
Users of FACEBOOK...PLEASE READ!
Just letting you all know about a change to Facebook..they've added a tool to it that can locate your position wherever you are which is just crazy...
When your not at home...everyone knows and its a big opportunity for burglars!
And as burglaries are on the up because of the recession and as its coming nearer to Christmas its just ridiculous that it has been added to Facebook in my opinion.
If you want to disable it go to
(Mobile Users)
SETTINGS
PREFERENCES
PRIVACY SETTINGS (Change)
The top section named 'SHARING INFORMATION ON FACEBOOK' , click CUSTOM
A list comes up with ur privacy settings..at the bottom it says 'INCLUDE ME IN PEOPLE HERE NOW, AFTER I CHECK IN'
Click on it and DISABLE it
Then in a section underneath on the same page there is a 'THINGS OTHERS SHARE' section ..click where it says 'FRIENDS CAN CHECK ME INTO PLACES' and again DISABLE IT
(COMPUTER USERS)
Click on ACCOUNT
ACCOUNT SETTINGS
NOTIFICATIONS Tab
PLACES
There are two boxes you need to uncheck and then SAVE your changes.

People need to get thier facts straight about this. It has been blown out of all proportion.
1st thing is that your friend, stalkers and the smackhead waiting to rob your can't locate you wherever you are without you physically clicking the 'check in button'
Secondly you get a massive disclaimer telling you what you need to know
Thirdly, you can only do it on an iPhone.
Now I do understand the dangers and peoples worries and thoughs, but I'm getting fed up with the press and people making a mountain out of a molehill.
So to sum up, you CANNOT be located unless YOU choose to be.
itwillalwaysbewithme
Always your year
