Getting Things Done With the Help of Your Friends<\/h3>\n

Source: Facebook.com<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n

People come to Facebook every day to connect and share experiences with friends and family. We share the great places we go and we ask our friends for advice when we need help getting things done. Today we\u2019re starting to introduce a variety of new features that help you use those connections to discover new things in the world around you, decide what to do or where to go, and connect with local businesses in easier and faster ways.<\/p>\n

Get Recommendations<\/b>
\n Whether traveling to a new place, looking for a hair salon, or searching for the perfect place to eat, people already turn to their friends, family, and local Groups on Facebook for advice. We\u2019re rolling out a new tool that makes it easier to get and organize all those recommendations in one place.<\/p>\n

When you write a Facebook post looking for advice on local places or services, you\u2019ll have the option to turn on Recommendations for that post. If you turn on the feature, your friends can comment on your post with suggestions, and you\u2019ll see all of them mapped out and saved in one place. You can also go to your Recommendations bookmark on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0(desktop only) to ask a new question or help your friends.<\/p>\n

Discover Local Events<\/b>
\n Facebook is a great way to find events happening around you and now it\u2019s even easier to discover new things to do with friends. To make exploring events even better, we\u2019ve revamped the Events bookmark on Facebook. You can catch up on the latest events activity from friends and hosts and browse event recommendations based on what\u2019s popular with friends or events you\u2019ve connected with in the past.\u00a0This new version of the events dashboard will start to roll out in the US in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
