Facebook launched stand-alone application Events From Facebook on iOS in October, and an Android version was released this week.
Events From Facebook allows users to select the types of event categories that interest them, which will shape the recommendations they receive from the app.
Its home feed brings users information on events their friends are interested in and events they are already connected to, as well as quick lists for ?tomorrow? and ?this weekend.?
