How to Disable Facebook Places (Video)

Posted September 17, 2010 | Laura Christianson

Some folks love broadcasting their current geographic location (like we care!).

I don’t.

This quick video tutorial from Pam Brossman of Social Media Woman Magazine walks you through how to customize your Facebook privacy settings so your location can be more — er — private.

Log in to your Facebook account right now and update your settings as Pam explains how.  You’ll be customizing three separate Privacy Settings:

  1. Places I check in to
  2. Include me in “People Here Now” after I check in
  3. Friends can check me in to Places

What do you think? Is there a value in letting people know your geographic location, or do you prefer to keep that information private?
