Yesterday as I was browsing my Facebook feed, I noticed in the new side feed that a friend of mine was attending an event of a band I liked at a local bar. I clicked on the event and got the details so I could make plans to go watch the band perform, and realized how strange it was that Facebook didn't notify me of this upcoming show. I mean, Facebook already knows my location, and I've gone through and "liked" all my favorite musicians. Put two and two together, and I should be receiving notifications for this kind of occurrence.
I have yet to come across any kind of setting that allows for these notifications, but it only makes sense. If an artist I like is coming to the city I'm residing in, or even a surrounding area, how convenient would it be to be notified of the event? Had I not been bored yesterday and just randomly browsing through my feeds, I never would have known about the upcoming show. Of course, users receive notifications when they are invited to an event, but I would love to automatically be informed whenever an artist I like is near my location. If there does happen to be a setting that allows for these kinds of notifications, do share!
