Your Facebook friends will be a lot more helpful in the coming days as Facebook is rolling out some new features<\/a> that will use your connections to discover new places, activities and businesses that may interest you. Here\u2019s a rundown on all the features that will be coming to Facebook.<\/p>\n

Receive recommendations by your friends <\/h3>\n

Visiting a new place and don\u2019t know what to do or where to go? Why not source that information from your friends list? Recommendations is a feature that can be enabled when you write a Facebook post looking for suggestions on local places or service.<\/p>\n

If the feature is turned on, your friends can comment on your post with their suggestions, and Facebook will mark those locations on a map and save them in a single post. The Recommendations bookmark will allow you to ask a new question or help your friends.<\/p>\n

Monitor upcoming Events better <\/h3>\n

Expanding upon the currently available Events feature, Facebook will be implementing a revamped Events bookmark on the website.<\/p>\n

With it, you will now be able to track your friends\u2019 latest event activity, as well as browse event recommendations based on your friends\u2019 interests and your past events.<\/p>\n

This feature will be available to U.S. Facebook users in the coming weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Interact with businesses via Facebook <\/h3>\n

Many businesses have their own Facebook pages, and Facebook will be adding a feature that would allow you to interact with these businesses in a more direct manner.<\/p>\n

For example, you will soon be able to order food from a restaurant\u2019s Facebook Page that uses Delivery.com or Slice.<\/p>\n

For businesses such as salons, you can also book an appointment through a salon\u2019s Facebook page. Confirmation would be handled through Facebook Messenger.<\/p>\n
