Facebook Launches Places In France And Italy

Facebook Places has gone live in France and Italy, the day after launching in Australia.

An Italian blogger reported on the local launch of Facebook’s location check-in service Places, which was done without any official announcement. Several AllFacebook.com readers have reported that Facebook Places is also live in France. I’ve reached out to Facebook and they’ve confirmed the launches, with more planned in the coming weeks.

Facebook seems to be deploying Places pretty rapidly, with six countries in the last two weeks, including Japan, the UK and Canada.
