Facebook Asking Users to Tag Photo Locations

A module on the top left of some Facebook pages offers a suggested place page based on the plain text location included in an album’s description, asking “Was this taken at [location]?” If a user clicks “Yes,” the album’s location will link to the appropriate place page and the album will appear on the Map feature of the new Timeline.

This action builds more links between users’ online activity and offline whereabouts, which could have implications for ads and other Facebook services.
