Default Facebook Places

I just used it for the first time. I'm disappointed that me using Lexus Enform isn't specified on Facebook Mobile. I might as well just use my iPhone lol

If you read the fine print you can only check in places. Honestly no one needs to be reading/writing statuses while driving

Yes I fully understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that I can only check in Places. I wasn't trying to post a picture or type a paragraph. And I was parked

To further clarify my point using this picture, the NAV screen has the words "...has checked in using Lexus Enform."

But when you go to the Facebook mobile app on your iPhone you don't see the words "...has checked in using Lexus Enform" associated with the check-in post

Also for those of you who have never used Facebook Places or are totally unknowledgeable with respect to it, you cannot use it while the car is in motion DISCLAIMER: I did not take this picture!!!!!! Passenger did while I was driving

Is it important that people see that you checked in with your lexus app suite? not trying to be a **** but I'm kinda also wondering if this is a real question.

I'm all about things that are value added. If Facebook Places isn't any different than me checking in on my iPhone mobile Facebook app, then what is the point of having Facebook Places in the Lexus App Suite

It's value added in that there's a Facebook check in app, you seem to be more concerned with the fact that it doesn't make public note that you checked in from your Lexus than the fact an app exists at all, so what you are saying is the "value added" benefit which you seek is that it states you used a Lexus app? April fools was 2 days ago.

Yes I am seeking a notification that says I checked in using Lexus Enform. That to me would be a value added reason for me to check in using Lexus Enform vice my iPhone app. Since you can only use Facebook Places when the car is in a virtual standstill, if I had to choose between checking in using my iPhone or Lexus Enform I would choose the iPhone since it's easier to use Facebook on my iPhone than it is using the mouse inside the car.

I fiddled with the Facebook Places app for the first time. In the general Newsfeed it doesn't show anything related to Lexus Enform App, but on my profile page it shows this.
