Head to your Market and update you Facebook app which will now let you seek out deals for the chosen place that you ‘check in’

It is up to the local business to offer the deals so it may take sometime for them to get on this but Facebook being as big as it is i expect it won’t take long.

Along with the update come a few bug fixes and the update is only valid if you have a device running Android 2.2 or higher so not everyone will be able to take advantage of it.

This will be a very competitive area for Facebook to get in to , with the likes of Groupon doing very well at the moment.

With the economy as it is at the moment this could be just what local business needs.
