Here's a site where you can check Facebook's status to see if the server is down or if it's just your cpu.

I let my FB account lapse because of all the privacy issues. I'm not overly paranoid, but why take chances?

Seems the info I passed along was not on target.

What we did (if you followed the original post):
Unchecking the 2 boxes DOES NOT PREVENT PEOPLE from "seeing" where you're at. It merely stops (Facebook) sending you emails to notify you that someone has.....

* Tagged me at a place
* Commented on my visits to places

"Notifications" notifies you (via email/sms) that someone has accepted you as a friend etc etc etc.
It does not disable the application.

SO . . .

To customize who you want to see places you're at....
* Go to your Facebook “Account”
* Select “Privacy Settings”
* Select “customize”
* Under “Things I Share”....
* Go to “Places I Check In”
* From the drop down menu, select “Customize”
* At “Customize”, Choose the settings.
* You can choose “only me” if you don’t want to share with anyone.

If you don't want others to check you into places.....
* Go to your Facebook “Account”
* Select “Privacy Settings”
* Select “customize”
* Under “Things Others Share”, Go to “Friends can check me in to Places”
* Select “Disabled”
