Facebook has just announced a few changes to its existing “Events” system which lets you create events and invite/inform your friends about the event. The event sharing system is quite useful as it makes your task easier to get connected with your friends. You might find a number of changes in the existing events system, like, the old “Event Title” has been replaced with a keyword which looks more focused to the event, “What are you planning?”. Facebook Blog reads that the event has been made faster and easier but many of you would surely miss the old features of creating a secure, private event. Now you have only two options, event could either be public or private. Not only this, you can’t even control the photos, posts and messages by others. All the invited members would be able to share photos and messages. This looks like taking back something really important. Well, lets check out the new system and hope that the old useful features would be available soon. Facebook must keep in mind that “Everything old is not to be Rejected and Everything new is not worth being Accepted”

The new improved “Events” system lets you create an event directly from your home page.  You simply need to type in your event into the “What are you planning?” field on the right-hand column of your home page. Now, you only need to add time and place to the form that opens up in front of you and you are all set to share your plans with your friends.

You can now create an event directly from the “Events” box on your home page with one step. Just start typing your event into the “What are you planning?” field on the right-hand column of your home page. A form will open. Add a time and place, and you’ll be ready to share your plans with your friends.

You can also follow the traditional method of creating events on Facebook. Simply click on the “Events” link on the left and then click the “+Create an Event” button and fill out each field step by step. The detailed creation form proves to be useful while creating more formal events.

This is the announcement at the official Facebook Blog. But the question is how many of you have this feature enabled on your Facebook Account? Not many users have yet been able to get a fresh start with the simplified Events system. Just wait for the changes to take place. You need not worry about the events which you have already created as they would remain the same. This feature will surely reduce the efforts of creating the events on Facebook.
