Facebook wants you to get off Facebook - new feature "Suggested Events" nags you into actually interacting with others -
Are you bored and have no friends? Do you spend an inordinate amount of time online? Facebook is here to help. It wants you to go outside and play.
A new feature called Suggested Events does exactly what Suggested Friends seems to do -- nag you into expanding your social circle and actually interacting with others in real life.
Whenever you check in somewhere using Facebook, Suggested Events gathers the information and then kicks back ideas based on your interests and where you like to go. It’s kind of like having a personal concierge that you don’t have to tip.
A little creepy, maybe? Some might find it a cool way to check out new places. But for all you people who check in everywhere you go, like work, and the gas station, be prepared. We're not saying Facebook would ever suggest going to a staff meeting for fun, but just the idea of it is kind of weird.
