Facebook Streamlines The Creation Of Events

Facebook just upgraded events to have more in common with groups while requiring fewer clicks to set up events.

In recent weeks, people have griped about spotty visibility of events, and now we know we have an explanation: Facebook just upgraded the feature.

The result aims to have more in common with groups while requiring fewer clicks to set up events.

Like Facebook Software Engineer Bob Baldwin said in a status update:

Less fields are required to create an event: name, date, and privacy. Details, location, and time fields are optional (as suggested in the placeholder text).

If you aren’t sure where to go upfront, anyone who joins the event can set its location later on.
