The number of apps developed to help people find interesting things to do, find people to do things with, or just find a good place to eat is huge and growing. The latest to take a jab at this niche is Facebook. Fortunately the company hasn’t launched an app to achieve this purpose. Instead it’s made use of its existing web interface and its already rich database of places to help you find restaurants, hotels, bars, cafes, public attractions, gyms, schools, theaters, and much more. A new dedicated page called Facebook Places has been launched. It asks you to enter a city and it will list all places, duly sorted into categories, for you to choose from.
Visit Facebook Places (linked at the end) and enter a city name. Facebook does not automatically assume you want to find something to do in your current city and I think that’s smart since you might be looking for things to do when you travel to a different city. If anything, it’s a pretty good tool to find a good restaurant in a new unfamiliar place.
