Facebook

Facebook is a website that was founded in 2004. It is a world wide social network that can be used for many reasons. It is a great way of communication, spreading the word and finding friends. This social network can help people from all around the world communicate with each other and keep in touch.

            As for businesses this can help them spread their business ideas and grow. Businesses can have their own Facebook page to spread the word about their business and expand. http://gigaom.com/collaboration/32-ways-to-use-facebook-for-business/

A negative for this can be is not following Facebook rules regarding business accounts.

            Like I stated before Facebook can be used socially in the sense that many people use this social network to connect with people from all around the world or to search people they used to know. This can be bad because even though it may say your photos, status, etc. are private, this may not be the case. People can also abuse this website by posting pictures that are not appropriate and should not be on the internet. This is why people have the option to report these pictures if they feel they are inappropriate and/or feel offended by these pictures.

            Facebook is also used for entertainment. People like to post pictures and status and look at what other people are posting. People also like to “message” and “pop chat” others to have conversations, just like you would text someone. There are also some Facebook pages people can read that may have to do with their favorite celebrity, band, etc.

            News is another category that Facebook covers. Facebook can be used to spread information quickly. For example there are photos you can “share” to spread a photo and get out something important. Sometimes the case may be something that is controversial and is the negative part about this factor on Facebook.

            Facebook can be used for recreational purposes as well. There are many fun games and other activities Facebook offers. Some games include Farmville, being sent your daily horoscope, or taking different quizzes. These games are just an addition to all the other perks Facebook offers.
