Facebook is a good tool to meet new people around someone's area or school. It gives status updates of your friends to see how they are doing or feeling. For example, people put "Billy is tired" or "Larry had fun last nite," on their status' for everyone to read, and friends can leave comments on their status if they want to. On the right side, there is a section called People You May Know which is there for people to see if their other friends have facebooks and they do not know about it. However, if you want to become their friend you send in a "friend request" and the person receiving it decides if they want to become friends with you or not. It also shows you which of your friends are online and you can talk to them, just like aim!
People use facebook for different reasons: the majority of people use it to talk to friends and meet new people; but others use it for advertisement. For example, on my facebook there is always a club being promoted that promoters are trying to get me and others to go out to. They send me and others messages about the club that is going to occur that weekend.
Most of the people who use it are in high school and college. It started out being for college students only; however, high school students started to develope this facebook trend. I also know a lot of people out of college who have facebooks, also to keep in touch with their friends.
Facebook represents a place where people go to see what their friends are up to. People leave comments on other peoples walls, check out pictures and post comments on them.
Facebook is very useful because whenever someone is bored they can go on facebook and talk to their friends, look at their pictures, check out status', or leave comments on their walls.
When you create a facebook, it asks you if you want people who are not your friends to be able to view your profile or if you only want your friends to view your profile. In other words, if you do not want someone to view your profile, go into facebook and change the setting.
