Sociable Facebook users will have already noticed that the official Facebook app for the iPhone doesn't offer any events interaction. Fortunately there's now an app that offers exactly that. Friends Events allows its users to check out exactly what events their friends are attending, view the events that they have been invited to and RSVP right from within the app.

The actual interface allows for users to view just the basic text description or a map view so that it's simple to work out exactly where the event is being held. Checking out which friends are going to which events is similarly easy to do. Things like that make Friends Events ideal for those who prefer to deal with Facebook events while on the move rather than in front of a web browser.

Friends Events comes in two varieties. There's an ad-supported free version or for $0.99, users can enjoy an ad-free experience. It's out now.

The Hotlist is a geo-social aggregator that finds what's going on around you without you having to do anything at all.

From the press release: "The app aggregates public info from its users Facebook accounts to populate a Google map with events. It then shows them anyone they know who has RSVP'd to a specific event, the guy-to-girl ratio, Yelp reviews of specific locations and any live Tweets to give insight into the pulse of the crowd at a venue or event."

With already 160,000 people on board, and Blackboard and Android users coming soon, The Hotlist is coming together to be the end-all source for what to do on a weekend night. That is, if you like crowds.

All you have to do is get yourself a Facebook account and pick up the app for free. So go on, have some fun!
