Facebook Places, Site's Foursquare Competitor, Is 'Imminent'

Launch Of Facebook's Foursquare-Killer Is 'Imminent,' Sources Say

The long-rumored geolocation "check-in" feature at Facebook is slated to debut within weeks, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNET.

It's going to take the form of an application programming interface (API) for third-party companies on the Facebook developer platform, integrating existing "check-in" start-ups more deeply into the massive social-networking service and in turn permitting location-aware data to become a part of existing platform applications.
