The intrusion that Facebook does in our lives is something that no one is surprised by at this point. All the information and activities that we share on the social network are analyzed in detail by different algorithms to study ourselves more thoroughly and find out more about our tastes in order to direct advertising, the only sustenance of many companies such as Google, Twitter and in this case also Facebook.
Unless we have something interesting to do on the weekend, we will most likely leave until the last minute the plans to enjoy the days off after working all week. And Facebook wants to help us in that work, work that sometimes becomes tedious.
Mark Zuckerberg has just presented a new function, at the moment only in 10 American cities, in which we can see Featured Events, a new tab that is displayed in the application and where the company collects for us the most outstanding events related to art, entertainment, festivals, concerts, sporting events that, in theory, conform to our tastes, or at least that is what the algorithm designed for that function ensures.
According to Facebook Product Manager Aditya Koolwal:
You can see it as a normal weekend or as a weekly summary of the cool things to do in your city.
Moment the cities that offer support for this service They are: Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC The social network affirms that it is working to offer this new function shortly in more cities, not only in the United States. but also European.
With Facebook Events, the company leave out the categories Music, Food, Sports and more with which we could quickly see the most interesting of our city at a glance to be able to plan the weekend.
