This was first announced back in autumn 2016, but I've only just seen it starting to happen in the UK on the desktop version of the site. Basically if you want thoughts, ideas, opinions and recommendations, Facebook can create a status update for you which does exactly that.

Once I confirm the location the status appears like this:
I can then click on my recommendation, and Facebook will attempt to find the location for the recommendation and put it into the status update as well:
I think it's a good idea - it's what we've always done in the past of course, but this is just a nice piece of functionality that allows us to make real use of it. At last! A Facebook update that improves the experience.
