i'd probably use it. a lot of times my statuses are actually informing people where i am so this would cut that out.

how would the geolocation work though? does Facebook do it all or do you need some sort of sensor like Geosense installed if you're on a computer? i imagine this would work quite well on a phone.

Ya, I imagine it uses either in-browser stuff for desktops, or the GPS chip if it's present.

I'm not sure how it's more helpful than 'I am currently at Fred's house, come see me!'

I mean, it's HANDY... but the amount of risky stuff it makes possible, both to users and developers...
