(You can read more about how location works and settings affected here: http://www.facebook.com/about/location) http://www.facebook.com/about/location) Yes, location will still be part of Facebook, as noted by Betabeat. But it will not be executed with the "check-in" model foursquare pioneered. The new way will be closer to tagging a user in a Google+ conversation.
