Facebook is revamping portions of its mobile app and website to make it easier to get recommendations from friends and interact directly with businesses, without leaving the social network.
The central changes can be found in the company's Pages and Events tools, which both help Facebook act as a social nexus for the site's users to stay in the know about what's going on in their community and what their friends are into.
Starting this week, Facebook will now let you poll your friends for recommendations on places to see, restaurants to try, and businesses that can be trusted.
Those recommendations then get placed on a map, with links to those businesses individual pages and options to even purchase items direct from the companies themselves.
