Facebook Places - You might not want other people to tag you

Facebook has a new feature called "Places", which lets people update their physical location, in real time.

The idea is to let friends find each other while out and about. 

Unfortunately, as usual with Facebook, it's enabled by default - even if you don't enter your location, someone can do it for you.

Think about it - you're across the country, or globe, on vacation or a business trip, and a friend runs into you, and not only posts "Hey - I just ran into Perry in San Antonio".  Now they can put my location right into my Facebook page.

I don't think I want that.

Well, Gawker Media shows how to turn it off
