Facebook Places Hits The Blackberry

Blackberry users have something to be really excited about today regarding the Facebook for Blackberry application. Facebook has just released the “Facebook Places for Blackberry” feature.

Now you can start “checking in” to the places you visit and let your friends know where you are, where you are shopping, or where you’re eating, etc…

For businesses, this adds a new marketing tool in your arsenal because now your Facebook Places and Facebook Deals can reach beyond just iPhone and Android phone users – now you can reach Blackberry users as well…

Here are some perks that come along with the Blackberry Facebook App and the new Facebook Places for your Blackberry device:

• Check in, add a Place and tag friends
• Check in to Facebook Places within a 1.25 mile radius of your location
• Select a Place from the available Nearby Places or add a Place if location does not already exist in the Places database
• Tag a friend upon check in, and include a comment
• View Places where friends have checked in
• View Places, “Here Now”, “Nearby” and “Elsewhere”, that friends have checked in to
• “Like” or add a comment to friends’ check ins
• Check ins will appear in the News Feed
• GPS and BB Maps Integration
• View a map of the location you’re checking in to and get directions to and from friends’ locations
