Never forget to check in  again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic check-ins<\/strong>: Choose to automatically check  in at specific places you designate, and you\u2019ll be checked in when  you\u2019re there. You can talk to friends or finish your bagel without  fumbling with your phone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check out<\/strong>: Once you leave, Latitude knows to automatically check you out of places so friends aren\u2019t left guessing if you\u2019re still there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At this moment, there is no ability to add venue. It makes use of Google Places to check in. And if you continue to check in regularly to the same place, you can earn special status like a \u201cRegular,\u201d a \u201cVIP\u201d or a \u201cGuru\u201d on Google Place page.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the introduction video.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"541\" height=\"330\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/IVLsRo7-3Lk?version=3\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Do you think this will take off?
