OPLIN 4cast #514: The evolution of Facebook marches on
November 2nd, 2016

[image: Facebook Like] If you're like many of us, you may spend time (maybe
more than you'd like) on Facebook. The social network continues to
integrate itself into more facets of our lives and to bring even more
features and services to its users. It can be difficult to keep up with all
of the changes; one thing that can be said of Facebook, for certain, is
that it is always evolving. Some of the changes may have escaped your
notice, and Facebook is even changing *us*.
- Facebook Recommendations Is Here to Tell You What to Do IRL
<https://www.wired.com/2016/10/facebook-recommendations/> [Davey Alba,
WIRED] "The new Events tool will suggest upcoming activities, based on
what’s popular with your friends or what you’ve done before. And it lets
you order food, book appointments, buy tickets, and get quotes from
businesses, usually by tapping services like Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, and
delivery.com."
- Facebook doubles down on its strategy for Live

[Samantha
Murphy Kelly, CNN] "To inspire even more people to use it, the social
network on Friday unleashed a marketing campaign complete with billboards
and a series of TV spots. The ads include video from Facebook Live
broadcasts, all taken on phones. (Facebook only recently rolled out Live
for desktop.)"
- Want to become a journalist? Facebook wants to help you
<http://mashable.com/2016/10/25/facebook-online-journalism-classes/> [Nicole
Gallucci, Mashable] "In a blog post on Tuesday morning, Aine Kerr, Manager
of Journalism Partnerships for Facebook announced that the social network
is launching a series of online training courses for journalists. What will
the courses focus on? Well, as Facebook continues to make inroads in the
media industry, the company is offering users a crash course in how to
perfect their social media skills to survive online journalism in 2016. "
- Accepting More Facebook Friend Requests Is Linked to Lower Mortality
<http://www.toptechnews.com/article/index.php?story_id=00100014JP16> [Amina
Khan, TopTechNews] "cientists who studied Facebook activity and mortality
rates of registered California voters found that people who received many
friend requests were far less likely to die over a two-year period than
those who did not."
