The problem is that you can't post a URL to an event. Hello FB - this is the WWW here. Without an RSVP, more info / details urls, fb events are useless. I hope they'll change it too. It looks like there's still not URL field in the screen shot included in this post. Anyone in FB reading this? Well, the Facebook API support for events is very poorly done and poorly documented.

Oh, and we all get invited to too much stuff on Facebook that the majority of us either ignore it all or RSVP "Yes" to everything. You should check out Sponty. It solves the problem of casual social events in a much cleaner way, without even having to explicitly invite friends. It also answers "what casual social evens are my friends up to today" in a snap !. http://www.thesponty.com Nice, but my event post about meeting friends for lunch will get drowned in all the other noise and super pokes in my friends’ Facebook streams.

FB had been stripping all of the buttons for creating events out of the Pages management. I was wondering what they were doing. This move is logical. All part of their strategy to have a single update line for sharing videos, links, status updates and now events. Are notes next? Who really cares? Oh wait, for some reason I do.
