Facebook has announced a new app called Events, which is meant to help Facebook users find and schedule tings to do with family and friends.
The app will highlight events that friends are planning to attend, new events added by liked pages, and updates from events to which users may have already RSVP’d. People will be able to browse recommended local events based on interests, as well as peruse an interactive calendar that details exactly where events are taking place.
Last, Facebook Events ties in to users’ Facebook calendar, allowing them to keep track of events, in addition to sync them to/from other calendars on their phone.
Facebook Events is available to the iPhone starting today and will reach Android devices in the near future.
