In 2004 Mark Zuckerberg and associates created Facebook which has become the most popular social networking site on the Web, with literally hundreds of millions of registered users.
More than 900 million people use Facebook from all over the world,
and more are signing up every single day. This staggering amount of
users makes Facebook the largest social networking site in the world,
and puts it on par with the popularity of Google's own social networking site called Google Plus. Facebook users use the
service primarily to stay in contact with friends and family, share
photos and personal information, or share content they've found on the
Web. Its a great place to discuss any thing on the world without distance being a barrier.
Facebook requires registration of your name and email address. After initial registration, users create a profile that they can personalize as much as they want: images, personal information, what they like, what they don't like, etc. In addition, users can create and join groups (friends, family, work-related, and more), find people they are already connected to via outside email contact lists, and connect with friends of people that they already know.
Features in Facebook include profile which is at your personal disposal. You can customize it the way we want it to be. It Includes your timeline, your status updates, your pictures, the links you choose to share etc.
Then there is the News Feed which is simply the book of information and content from all contacts that appears on every single Facebook user's home page.
Whether you're looking for a group about a football group or your favorite band, you're likely to find it here. Groups are a great way to find like-minded people that want to talk about the same things you do.
Other features include personal messages where you can personally message someone without the world being able to view it and also pages; many businesses, non-profits, celebrity figures, and organizations have found it easier to create Pages as a way to keep in touch with fans.
