Popular check-in locations for Facebook users around the world

Location check-in has become a way for many social network users to show themselves, their location and make friends. Check-in was originally a feature of some vertical LBS applications such as Foursquare, and later the check-in function was also adopted by Facebook, becoming a way for social network users to show themselves.

So where do users check in? According to the 2013 global popular check-in location data provided by Facebook, popular tourist attractions and landmarks are the places where users check in the most.

Facebook also compiled a category for what it calls “life events,” with travel claiming the No. 2 spot (over break-ups and body piercings!):

1. Added a relationship, got engaged or got married

2. Traveled

3. Moved

4. Ended a relationship

5. First met a friend

6. Added a family member, expecting a baby or had a baby

7. Got a pet

8. Lost a loved one

9. Got a piercing

10. Quit a habit

Obviously, what I signed was not arrival, but a kind of complacency and desire for communication in loneliness.
