How Do You Put the Place Where You're at on Facebook?

Facebook Places lets you tell your friends and family what you are doing and where you're doing it at. The Facebook Places feature is only available on mobile devices; you cannot check into a place from your laptop or desktop computer. Due to privacy issues, use Facebook Places with caution. Your "check in" becomes a Wall post that is shared with your Facebook friends.
