Facebook updates and events

If you and your stored contacts have Facebook accounts and you linked to Facebook when you were creating My Contact Card, you can easily check which of your contacts have updates that occurred in Facebook. The types of Facebook updates include changes in profile information and status as well as new photos added to the Facebook album.

You can also easily check which contacts have events that occur on the current day. The types of events include the birthday and anniversary, if specified and stored on the contact details, as well as events that are created in Facebook.
