Heads up on the following fallacious information floating around Facebook

Facebook launched Facebook Places yesterday. Anyone canfind out where you are when you are logged in. It gives the actual address & map location of where you are as you use Facebook. Make sure your kids know. TO UNDO: go to"Account", "Account Settings", ..."Notifications", then scroll down to "Places" ...and uncheck the 2 boxes. Make ...sure to SAVE changes and re-post this!!

This does not turn off Facebook Places - it simply stops you recieving Facebook Places notifications from friends.

Facebook Places only works from GPS enabled devices (eg iPhone and Android). You need to be running the Facebook app ...and check-in through that app for it to send out notifications of your location

If you want Facebook Places to not post your location from your mobile phone - don't use it. Don't check in from your mobile phone. No need to change any settings in Facebook for this.

However, it is important to understand when you agree to an iPhone or Android app sending location information from a GPS mobile phone, what is sent and who it is sent to. It is too easy to click through those dialogues.

Finally, tell your kids to not post anything that they do not want handed to them during a job interview. It is the best way to approach this form of self-exposure rather than try to alter ever-changing privacy settings.
