Updates & Events face

I choose option #4: Remove from My Events.

Romain Heuillard · M6
Option which I can't find anymore. My past events are now contaminated with events where I haven't been, that's very annoying. Am I the only one not having the "Remove from My events" link at the bottom of an events page?

Krys Freeman · Web Project Manager at GreenBiz.com
Romain Heuillard -- NO you're not and I'm irritated that I can't find this feature anymore either.

Tim Richards · Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Wha? Why is it seen as rude or tacky to decline an invitation? Surely it's always been regarded as good manners to RSVP, if only to give the event organisers a clear idea of the numbers attending. Seems odd to turn it around like that.

Social networking is serious business!

Users can still decline of course -- their faces just do not appear in the decline list that everyone else can see anymore.

I think it is ruder to not respond or plainly ignore the invitation...

Liz Carlson · Top Commenter · Founder at InTheDoor
I always thought the "Declined" List was somewhat tacky.

However, what I find even more tacky is people who use the event wall as a place to brag about their Hawaiian vacation to explain why they are not attending. That being said, I agree with Josh about the Join button confusion. Once you confirm, it could change to "Attending."

Liz Carlson · Top Commenter · Founder at InTheDoor
"Going" rather, for uniformity. :) Going I admit does have a more positive, action oriented feel than Attending. "Let's go." I can imagine the intense debate.

Thought it was interesting that the map for my facebook event points to the wrong place, but the map on my eventbrite page, powered by google, displays perfectly.

Thanks, Bob! I've added the schematic and a note about the news feed stories to the article.

Josh Constine Nice. No link to me? :-P

Bob Baldwin haha, I've added a link to your profile. I didn't want to direct unwanted traffic to your personal profile, though I guess I should have assumed since the photo's public and you allow Subscribers. Thanks again, always a pleasure to have the people who build the products I write about chime in.

That is less insulting? It will give someone the ability to tell you bluntly: "I don't give a damn about your role play wedding you loser. Stop inviting me to your fantasy and get a life." :D

Um... Someone's bitter.... Simply decline the event and get on with your life. Also, don't make the mistake of friending clubs or local musicians on Facebook. (sooo many invites)

Dinidu Perera I have liked a shit load of pages, and zero groups. I don't care even care about domestic musicians(Excluding Linkin Park), let a lone local musicians. I am mostly in to Japanese pop/Japanese Rock, but then again, nobody asked me to give details. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vishal Soni · My own at Jewellery
ohhhhhhhhhh :) www.techclinch.com.

I would invite people to check out www.HATCHEDit.com - your plans: Hatched. Managed. Coordinated.

Digital Natives Group
For a while, they were playing around with a version that relegated the event photo to a little square thumbnail and stripped away a whole bunch of other information. This update is significantly more useful. Well played, Facebook.

Abhay Pore · University of Pune
nice :)

Still think they need a calendar feature that lets you check what events all your friends have publicly RVSP'd to, so you know what people are up to on a given night. C'mon Facebook, manage my social calendar, I know you want to...

Alicia Saldenha · Osaka-shi, Osaka, Japan
Now I no longer see a tab to allow me to invite guests. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Amy Ewing
But, there are other changes than those described above. I, and my friends who want to share information about music events, had LOVED being able to share events on our pages, and to see the graphics on events others are attending. All this is suddenly gone. Some of us had found Events a tremendous community builder. Not all Events information needs to be attended, or not, to be useful. It is useful to FB advertisers I guess.... sigh, sigh, sigh. I am thinking of abandoning FB out of disappointment.
