Facebook Places Launches in the UK, but Where Next?

Facebook has launched its location service Places in the UK. Now users from Japan, the US, the UK, and anyone using a remote VPN account can access Places through the touchscreen-optimized site touch.facebook.com and the Facebook for iPhone app. Details about how to user Places are available on a new Places home page. Facebook appears to be rolling out Places to countries with large user bases for the iPhone and smart phones which can access the feature.

The UK currently has the second largest Facebook-using population after the US, and has a higher market penetration than the United States.
