Snart kommer Facebook Places till Sverige. Detta är Facebooks svar på Gowalla och Foursquare men jag gissar att det även blir en konkurrent till Google Places som jag nyligen bloggade. För dig som företagare kan det vara värt att ta reda på mer om Places. Den generella hjälpsidan och hjälpsidan riktad mot företag ger de bästa svaren just nu. De två viktigaste punkterna tar jag med längre ner.
En liten kul detalj är att det verkar som att Facebook lite subtilt retas med Foursqare.
Klippt från facebooks FAQ:
I am a business owner. How do I take ownership of the Place where my business is located?
If you are the official representative of your business, please take the following verification steps to claim the Place on Facebook:
- Search for the Place on Facebook you wish to claim as your business. If no Place exists for your business, you can create a new Place.
- Once you locate the Place for your business, click the ”Is this your business?” link at the bottom of the Place.
- Complete the step-by-step verification process to claim your Place.
How do I create a new Place?
To create a new place, follow these steps:
- Access the Places application on your supported device.
- Click ”Check In.”
- Click the ”Add” button to the left of the Places Names search box.
- Enter a name for the new Place as well as an optional description of it. Then, click the ”Add” button at the bottom right of the page.
- You will then have the option to both write a description of what you are doing at the new Place, and/or tag your friends there
- Click the ”Check In” button to share your visit.
