Social media has changed the way people and businesses connect. Facebook can and does broaden the night life of members in several ways. It connects people with what’s hot in their community and the interesting things friends are doing socially.

Entertainment venues utilize Facebook pages to introduce fun-seekers to what the business provides. Upbeat Facebook comments are inviting to those unsure if a place suits them. Familiarity gained from visiting a Facebook page for a bar or nightclub encourages people to feel at ease when walking in for the first time.

Connecting to Facebook pages of certain venues can be beneficial in other ways. Many hot spots use Facebook to entice potential customers with special coupons and presale tickets for Facebook fans only. Businesses recognize the marketing potential in keeping the community talking about the business on Facebook.

Social people seeking to see and be seen appreciate frequent updates from local venues and bands intent on providing premier entertainment. Impressing friends by always being privy to the latest in upcoming events equates to a full calendar.

Cross promotions on Facebook pages broaden social lives by introducing people to events they otherwise would not seek out. Celebrated restaurants, bars and nightclubs often sponsor or promote exciting affairs. Such events may not be widely promoted beyond Facebook in effort to save money.

On a more personal level, Facebook status updates can be employed to find things to do with friends. When Friday morning has arrived and no solid weekend plans exist, Facebook users can compose a subtle status update asking what others have on tap for the weekend.

Often, such status updates lead to invitations. The passive and polite method of informing friends of availability or desire to make plans is much less invasive than making phone calls or sending text messages.

Facebook has changed the way new friendships form in many instances. Those individuals who have recently relocated to a new city may not feel comfortable getting to know coworkers on a personal level within the workplace. Facebook connections add a personal element to casual friendships with coworkers. This leads to invites to functions outside the workplace that may otherwise not be extended.

Facebook makes it easier than ever to keep a pulse on the latest and greatest happenings in any area’s night life. A minimal amount of legwork keeps people knowing what is happening around them as they are afforded the latest information on how to enjoy their time to unwind.
