Facebook App is Updated With Hashtag Support, Restaurant Reservations

Facebook has updated its app to support hashtags, added the ability to make restaurant reservations on participating pages, and improved the design for timelines on the iPad. The update also includes TV listings for those in the US when landing on a page for a particular show or movie.

Finding shows and movies on TV is getting easier as well. For people that use iOS, Facebook will display TV listing information on US primetime TV and movie Pages. Listings will be based on your current time zone and include the channel name, air time and a description of the show or movie playing, meaning that the listings that exist in cable box guides, magazines and newspapers are now conveniently located on the Facebook Pages of peoples' favorite shows.

The company announced the changes on their blog earlier today and the update just went live.
