Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the configuration and management of events within a social networking system is disclosed. The system enables members of similar or different geographic region and/or like interests, hobbies, social status, relationship status, family status, etc. to interact with the system to view activities, register to participate in activities, and schedule activities. A personal workspace, accessible through a variety of devices (e.g., kiosks, web clients, wireless devices, and set-top boxes) enables network members to view a personal calendar, scheduled events and activities, invitations, localized news, and the like. The personal workspace further facilitates registration to participate in scheduled activities. A scheduling interface enables network users to configure and schedule activities through selection and/or entry of an activity details.
