Facebook Adds Ability to Invite Friends from Recent Events

Facebook events are one of the best ways to reach out to friends, colleagues, and the general public with your cause, party, or project - simply because there are just so many people on Facebook.

In the past, if you hosted a bi-weekly BBQ, you'd have to rebuild your entire guest list for each event. Now you can just select your last event and invite everybody who was on the guest list.
