Facebook Places Adds Check-In Deals




Facebook today expanded its Places feature on mobile platforms with Deals in an attempt to kill two thriving birds called Foursquare and Groupon with one stone. By selecting “Places” in the most recent Facebook for iPhone app, or at touch.facebook.com on other platforms, and then touching the “Check in” button, you’ll see all Nearby Places that have on-going discounts, competitions or charity programs marked with a yellow icon. For starters, here are the initial stores, restaurants and other locations that have partnered with Facebook Deals. All you have to do is check in to activate the special.
