How To: Disable Facebook Places

Facebook just announced a Foursquare like service called Facebook Places.  If you are like me and don't want to use it, then you have to disable it.

In order to disable it you need to go into your privacy settings under the account tab on the right hand side of your home page.  From there you need to select Custom for your settings.  Now you need to click the customize settings link and set the Places I check in to setting to only me by customizing it in to dropdown menu and saving.  Next, uncheck Include me in "People Here Now" after I check in.  Scroll down to the things others share and disable Friends can check me in to Places.  

There you go. Now Facebook Places is disabled.
