Facebook cancels Gifts event due to Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy is making a big impact on technology events, what with the cancellation of the Google Android event scheduled for today. Now, according to PCMag, Facebook has cancelled two of its events – an engineering open house, and an event where the social networking giant was going to promote its recently launched Gifts service.Facebook had launched the Gifts service in September this year. This new service means that now users can send real-life gifts to their friends -- be it good old chocolates, socks, coffee or other goodies. If it's your friend's birthday tomorrow, you can spot the 'give her a gift' link, along with a gift icon and a photo. Once you click on the icon, you will be able to spot the gifts that you could present to your friends for their special day - be it a Starbucks gift card, cupcakes, or a ‘you can never go wrong with’ teddy bear.
