Tonight, Facebook is supposed to be announcing Facebook Places, a new location based service expected to rival FourSquare and GoWalla. I personally think that if Facebook does come out with a location service, that all of their rivals will eventually cease to exist. While FourSquare and GoWalla have been growing, they still have not reached the critical mass that Facebook has to be considered anything more than a fad. And since nearly everyone has a Facebook account, there really won’t be a point to sign up for other location based services. Anyways, you can watch the Facebook Places announcement live tonight at 8:15pm EST below:
