Party animal? Now Facebook Suggests You Parties!

Android and desktop users, however, will have to wait a bit before the social networking giant rolls this feature out.

If you sort of know what you want to do – whether it’s a pub crawl, concert, wine & cheese, or a gallery opening – Facebook can be the waiter to your mood. First, rather than suggesting Events on random dates, you can now specify if you’re looking for something to do today, tomorrow, this weekend, or next week. Facebook can recommend where to go. At the same time, the “Suggested For You” section heavily relies on the data Facebook has collected about you.

Users can now browse events in 10 major cities by topic, with options including music, food and drinks, nightlife and sports and fitness. You can adjust your location so to check what’s happening in the city you’re currently in Peeking at events located in distant lands is also something Facebook deals with now.

Interestingly, Facebook has scored over other companies in the art of chasing event discovery.

While Facebook’s new feature will encourage users to spend time with other people, in person, at real locations, rather than online where the site earns money, a revamped Events section might bring even more users to the site. Foursquare never made it a priority to figure out events even though it knows where people are gathering. It’s a good thing that Facebook planned to make this change regarding the event section, because, most of the time users will get bored at being assaulted by waves of boorish events. As TechCrunch points out, Facebook has over 450 million people using its Events feature.

Why does Facebook care about upgrading Events?

Facebook invitations can be a great way for you to keep up with what’s going on in your area, and we might as well admit it – it’s cool to get an invite to something fun.

Facebook already knows some basic details about you like where you live, what you like and people you generally tend to hang out with.
