Facebook Places: Boom or Bust? Twitter Users REACT

Facebook Places is the latest "check-in" service, announced yesterday by the Internet giant. It comes on the heels of Foursquare and Gowalla, two of the most prominent platforms who are also partnering with Facebook.

As Places rolled out, reactions on Twitter were -- unsurprisingly -- swift and incisive. See below for some of the more interesting takes.
