Google has finally hopped onto the check-in bandwagon, but with extra twists that make it more appealing than many of the other options. The company announced Tuesday that it had updated its location-based social media service, Google Latitude, to support check-ins at local businesses. Although Google is a little late to the party, the new feature may have been implemented so that it could tie in with Google's soon-to-be-introduced local discount service.
Users of Google Latitude could previously share their locations with friends and family—it was one of the first major services to let users do this in such a user-friendly and visually pleasing way. Now, however, users can also check in at various locations, such as the coffee shop down the street or the art museum on the other side of town. This allows them to post photos and comments about what they're doing and lets their friends see exactly where they are instead of just an abstract location on a map.
