Facebook Knows Best, Starts Suggesting Status Update Links

Before you finish typing that status update, why not let uncle Zuckerberg suggest what you ought to be sharing? A new Facebook feature will offer page suggestions to link to while you type your updates. The suggestions are targeted to the user. With the vast amounts of data we feed into the site, this is not surprising.

Friends will be suggested, but only if you capitalize the name. The same goes for locations, bands, and causes. This will avoid unnecessary suggestions when you don't intend to link to a page. This feature makes more sense in the wake of Facebook's slow rollout of more uniform Interest categories.

Many expect the announcement of location sharing on Facebook soon, and this feature could take center stage. It may be an easy way to check in at a location by linking to a page in your status update. Have you tried the feature? Was it accurate?
