Do you ‘maybe’ go to many Facebook events? Don’t feel bad, it has been an insider’s joke for quite some time now. So, Facebook finally decided to put an end to it, dropping the “maybe” button, in favour of a more useful “interested” option.

Up until now, when a friend invited you to a public Facebook Event, you could choose between ‘Going’, ‘Maybe’ and ‘Not Going’. And that did not always make much sense. Therefore, Facebook has now replaced ‘Maybe’, with ‘Interested’ which is indeed way way better.

By choosing to be ‘Interested’ in an event, you choose to let your friends know you are considering it, and that might help them decide to go, or not. Also, you will be kept updated when something is posted by event organisers, so you can eventually make up your mind once you find out more about the event itself, or about who will be going to it.
Oh, and you cannot be “Not going” anymore. Let’s be honest, that was rude, right? Now you can simply ‘Ignore’ an event or an invite, and that is much more sensible.
Note that the ‘maybe’ button still currently remains for private events at least at the time we are writing this. Hopefully this is a bug, or something Facebook missed out and will soon be corrected.
