Facebook is adding new integration with OpenTable and greater Hashtag support to its iOS app.
The hashtag support was added to Facebook recently as part of a greater push to keep track of trending topics across the social network. The OpenTable integration is part of a broader partnership between the two companies that allows Facebook users to make restaurant reservations right from the Facebook app, using the 'Nearby Places' function as well as restaurant fan pages./article-new/2013/08/facebookopentable.png?lossy)
Facebook says its integration is far more seamless than with OpenTable's other partners, like Yelp and Google Maps, which require you to open a browser window to complete a booking. All reservations can be made without leaving the Facebook app. In fact, you don't even need to register with OpenTable to make a reservation.
Reservations will not generate posts on Facebook and reservations will not be sharable with friends.
Facebook is a free download for iPhone and iPad. [Direct Link]

(View all)I am a fan of Open Table though. I just don't like the whole Facebook integration with the world. I've deleted apps because they require to log in with FB and give no other options (USA Network app).
I couldn't agree more. I can't stand how Facebook integrates with everything. No, I don't want to share that I just ordered a pizza from a restaurant for delivery!
Then don't share it?I couldn't agree more. I can't stand how Facebook integrates with everything. No, I don't want to share that I just ordered a pizza from a restaurant for delivery!
Seriously! I hate it when games do that! Infinity Blade for example doesn't let you use the clasmob unless you sign into FB. I rather use Gamecenter which is ironically already integrated into IB2 but just for achievements >:|
Anyways, can't we just use Siri to do an OpenTable reservation....?
New features and yet they can't get their basic functions to work properly or consistently.
