On August 18th, Facebook decided to make a major announcement for a new feature/service they were releasing. People were guessing and speculating until the official announcement. Had Facebook actually listened to its members and finally given the masses a “Dislike” button?
Facebook decided to announce a new “Check-in” service so that your Facebook Friends can see where you have been. You can see who is at the same location, or right down the road. It wasn’t what the masses wanted was it?
I would say no, since there already established services that already provide a “Check-in” service and they post to Facebook. Services like FourSquare, Gowalla, and Where. I tried to find a group that wanted a “Check-In” or location based service, but alas nothing…
Just randomly searching groups for the “Dislike button” within the first 50 groups of 500 there are at least 64,000 people that wanted some sort of dislike button. It is in such a high demand that designers have created fake buttons and viruses that attempt to sucker in Facebook users.
For me, I’ll stick to FourSquare and enjoy getting discounts and earning badges when I check in at some locations. So did Facebook fail its members by ignoring them?
