Facebook Places (upcoming new feature)

Facebook Places essentially tells your friends where exactly you are. This feature is entirely optional and only the user can decide when/if to use it.

Unfortunately, I'm sure there are so many people on Facebook that will somehow find a way to get themselves into trouble with this feature (even with improved privacy settings). For example, how many people have gotten into trouble because of a picture they voluntarily uploaded onto Facebook? I would imagine a lot.

A couple CNN articles:
