Do you check out who’s checking in? Do you find out on Facebook who is going to be where? Do you become mates on first tweet? Technology is changing the way we communicate and for the after hours athlete, it’s a key part of the armoury. How can tech be used to make the most of a night out?
8am Sunday (oh wait we’re not up that early) sorry, 11am Sunday: Login to Facebook. Accept or reject friend requests from people you met last night – take a look at their profile. Have a scan of the pictures from last night –detag. Check out the late night wall posts and any videos if you've been adventurous enough. But what’s that? An event invitation. Excellent. Another one. You’re just so damn popular.
12pm Sunday: Read through the event. Who’s invited? Where is it? Any hot guys or girls going? Any annoying people invited? How many people are going? Enough for it not to be awkward or too many for it to be far too busy? Moment of thought...attending event, maybe attending, not attending. What to do? Go on attend... we always love a party.
THANK GOD for Facebook events. Finally an application that allows you to know exactly what a night out is going to entail – no hidden surprises. No more dull nights out with people who you quite frankly don’t want to spend the evening with. If you’re popular and have friends, which us Puma lot all do of course, nearly every time you login to Facebook you’ll see a new event invitation (unless you’re one of those addicts who stalk all the time). The Facebook event has become key to the After Hours Athlete’s Armoury. It’s his organiser, his communication tool. His secret to a good night out.
Do you use Facebook events like an After Hours Athlete or do you prefer the element of surprise? Are they a friend or a foe? Tell us your thoughts – go on – let’s get some debate going here. Oooh we love a good debate.
