As such, users will no longer have to create a new Places page or add the name of an Event to a check-in's description when they want to tell friends they're at a specific event. "By allowing Places check-ins to Events, Facebook may be able to cross-promote the two features, inspiring users to RSVP and check in more often." The new feature will also draw attention to Events that are in progress, and give Event promoters another way to gauge the success of their ways.
