Title: Facebook wants to replace Yelp with your friends' recommendations Post by: HCK on October 21, 2016, 04:05:13 pm Facebook wants to replace Yelp with your friends' recommendations
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Facebook just announced helpful new features that are rolling out in the U.S. starting today, and at top of the list is a new way to get dining, event, and business recommendations from your friends.</p><p> The new feature goes deeper than reading comments on a post when you’re looking for great local coffee—although that's a big part of it. Facebook will intelligently organize all your friends' recommendations into one spot, and put each recommendation on a map for you to peruse. There’s also a new recommendations section (https://www.facebook.com/recommendations) where you can ask a new question or add your recommendation for others.</p><p> Facebook says it’s rolling out the new feature since many people already turn to the social network for recommendations on an informal basis. “Whether traveling to a new place, looking for a hair salon, or searching for the perfect place to eat, people already turn to their friends, family, and local Groups on Facebook for advice,” Facebook said in its announcement (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/10/getting-things-done-with-the-help-of-your-friends/).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3132432/internet/facebook-wants-to-replace-yelp-with-your-friends-recommendations.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Facebook wants to replace Yelp with your friends' recommendations (http://www.macworld.com/article/3132432/internet/facebook-wants-to-replace-yelp-with-your-friends-recommendations.html#tk.rss_all) |
