Why Facebook will fail with "Places"

Great post on Business Insider about why FB Places hasn't taken off like they had expected

Full disclosure, I am a Foursquare user.

The main thing that has caused me not to use Places more than a few times is that I generally don't feel my actions are worthy of spamming my friend feed and my 4Square Social graph is much smaller (and more selective) than my FB one

From the post...on why people are not using places...

• Don't want to annoy people. "when i use foursquare i don't post to fb unless it find it particularly interesting." "i find it annoying when people check in a lot."

• Privacy. "i don't want everyone to know where i am all the time" "and i didnt like that other people could check me in. so off it went" "If you want to know where I am, call me."

• Can't opt certain people in or out. "Facebook 'friends' are a broader list of people -- much more selective with Foursquare or other location-based services.

Sorry Facebook...you can't win them all
