#“Facebook Places Check-ins in Ireland really kicking off”
Over the past few months, I've watched Facebook Places functionality get closer and closer to properly live for those of us in Ireland.
We geeks initially used VPNs on our phones to spoof that we were in the US so we could check-in in Ireland. Then I spotted the FB Ireland people checking in here.
More recently the Android App stopped giving an error and showed check-ins here.
Now today it's like everyone found it at the same time! My Facebook feed has tons of Irish check-ins.
So how quickly before everyone starts bitching about it like they did with FarmVille updates?
Of course I won't be happy until they turn on Facebook Deals in Starbucks at Cork Airport.
The question is now whether I'll bother my arse doing my usual 4SQ+Gowalla check-ins? Without special offers local to me, they just can't compete with FB.
