Facebook Improves Tools For Inviting Friends To Recurring Events: "

Facebook is becoming an increasingly common way to organize events, and now Facebook has made it a little easier to invite groups of friends to many events. A new feature in the “Filter Friends” tab when creating a new event lets users select invitee lists who they previously invited to recent events.

Scheduling large events through Facebook can be a hassle for specialized groups, and previously, the only way to invite a group was to create a dedicated friend list. With this new feature, it’s easy to schedule recurring events with the same group of Facebook friends without having to choose the entire invite list one person at a time.

The tool allows you to pull in a list of people from any current or recent event you’ve created. This can be especially useful for anything from meetings to team sports, where the group you’d like to invite doesn’t necessarily fall under an existing network.

Adding this tool to event scheduling helps fill out Facebook’s feature set to help it better compete with specialized event sites like Meetup. Facebook still has a long way too go before it matches the full services offers by those sites, but it’s a step in the right direction.
