PlacePop Serves Up Data From Facebook Places

Developers are wasting no time building applications on top of the newly released API for Facebook Places. Earlier this week mobile game SCVNGR announced its integration and today it’s PlacePop.

The stated purpose of the PlacePop app is to let people begin to organize, visualize and make use of the stream of “check-in” data on Facebook. The benefits for users include the ability to see what places are trending among your friends, track statistics about your own check-ins, and see your entire location history, see what places are most popular in your friends’ network, and get a real-time feed of where your friends are.

Business owners would benefit as well because PlacePop would provide local recommendations, loyalty programs and ultimately rewards via the Facebook platform.
