On Monday, Twitter rolled out Twitter Places, its attempt to add a layer of actual venues to its geolocation data. This was made possible by a deal with Localeze, a local business listing service with over 14 million businesses in their database. Now we're hearing that Facebook has struck a similar deal with Localeze to roll out their own Places area in the near future. Essentially, what we're hearing is that Facebook will use this data to populate some new kind of fan pages for places, that businesses will be able to then claim on the network.
