How To: Discover Local Hotspots With Your Friends
Your friends go to lots of interesting places – and so do you. Until now, there hasn’t been an easy way for groups of friends to share place recommendations, or to keep track of the spots they have already visited and where they want to go.
PlacePop’s new application on Facebook aims to solve this problem. The app leverages Facebook’s Places database to serve up personalized local recommendations based on where your friends actually go. 
As you build up a list of places you have visited, you can opt to rate each place simply as “Recommended” or “Not Recommended”, and share a short review if you like.
To use the service, you just need to install the application on Facebook – there’s no new website to sign up for, and it’s easy to invite your friends who are already using Facebook.
If you’d like to start rating places and discovering new hotspots with your friends, simply log into your Facebook account and search for “PlacePop”, or click this link to install it directly: http://apps.facebook.com/placepop
