The winner of the game is the platform with all the places. Globally. Is that Google, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or Gowalla? Good to see (not) yet another half-baked Places implementation that is launched before it's global, implemented in the web UI or with a complete API, this time from Facebook.

@Richard Azia I think the answer may be Buzz for mobile. Latitude and Buzz seem to be curiously orthogonal but in both Google seems to have a bigger and better directory of places than any of the others.

Somewhat amazed that Google don't have a background Latitude updater for the iPhone.

I would also add in GMail, Picassa and Google Docs - all activities that Google (because of the work they have done with Latitude) can generate internal "places" data - now they just need to expose a UX to let users control when/where to show that data 20 Aug 2010 20 Aug 2010

Thank you for mentioning this. FB looks like a drunken, knee jerk reactionary. Slapping shoddy code on precarious concepts on horrible architecture. I can't say enough bad things about that damn site.

Commune around ideas and interests? NO WAY! Let's commune around arbitrary & extinct social groups with people you may have had a locker next to 20 years ago.

sweet guys.

this panicked implementation of Places just shows you how nervous they are.

(you can't reshare from a google profile, but you can within buzz. odd that)
