Users can also take advantage of unexpected coincidences, such as discovering that they are at the same concert as their friends. Users can 'check in' when they arrive at a location and see whether any of their friends are nearby.

An update will automatically be published to their friends’ News Feeds when a Facebook user checks in to a location. They can also 'tag' friends who are in the same location, either by a photo or a status update.

The service was only available in the US. Until now, Friday November 15the 2010, Facebook launched the tool for almost the whole world now.
