The phone’s GPS can send constant information back to the Facebook servers,
telling it your whereabouts at any time.
I really hope someone can finally make something like Loopt work on smartphones. I can't believe we need to manually check in to see where friends are right now. FindMyFriends on iOS requires your apple password, and much like GameCenter, the social design is horrendous.
Focusing just on the privacy side ignores all the benefits from giving a service more information. Facebook isn't tricking users into this. Users want it.

Like most social products, the experience changes when more people are on it. In my opinion, Facebook, Apple, Google, and device makers are the only companies that can solve this problem.
