An Introduction to Facebook:
Facebook is a huge, online community. If you're familiar with the college "facebook" given at the beginning of a year so that you get to know your classmates, then you can imagine that facebook online. In a paper facebook, you see photos and biographies of your classmates. On Facebook, you see your friend's latest photos and videos with, at times, an extensive biography. You can write notes in your print facebook, but if you write notes on your friend's Facebook Wall, they and sometimes their friends will reply!Facebook goes beyond the paper facebook by providing online tools for you to
connect with virtually anyone on the site. You can look up old friends, chat and
email with others, find and RVSP for events, shop for items, and find jobs. You can
even connect to Facebook using your iPhone or another compatible mobile device.
Facebook also caters to business interests. Companies, bands, and celebrities
promote on Facebook.
Finally, Facebook is well known for rapid changes. These updates, meant to keep
Facebook fresh, useful, and competitive, sometimes result in frustration and confusion for both beginners and experts.
That's where this book comes in. It was written in early 2011 to help you get up to
speed—and stay up to date through our updated online content—on one of the
most popular yet constantly changing sites on the web.
Welcome to Facebook !
"I left right after I graduated and haven't been back to my home state over the
years. I often wondered what my classmates were up to, who was doing what,
how does so and so look. How I wished I could hook back up with them. I got on FB and have reconnected with my classmates, and it feels so good that FB
allowed me to reconnect with people I spent the better part of my years growing
up with. THANKS FB."
"My daughter died in a car crash two years ago. The day after she died a friend of
hers set up a page in her memory. It helped us in our grief, and it was nice to be
able to look at all the comments, memories, and photos that her friends posted.
We even found out things about her personality that we didn't know before."
"When the earthquake destroyed part of the country, our girls were saved and
taken to safety by a complete stranger who I found on Facebook. These girls were
missing for over a month. I had no contact in that city and went to work making
connections on Facebook with people around the world who were working there.
I sent photos via Facebook, and I got a call saying the girls were found. They were
sick, alone, hungry but ALIVE!"
Now, Facebook is a virtual world that's grown to hundreds of millions of users.
Facebook Stories show one side of why people continue to use its network—for
fun and potentially meaningful connections with like-minded people.
"When I was child, I made friends by becoming 'pen pals.' I'd write a letter, lick a
stamp, and then wait for a reply. Sometimes another person would respond in
place of who I wrote to! Now, I don't have to wait (and I know who's responding). I
connect with from friends all over the world. Facebook has opened a whole new
world to me as an author—the wonderful world of writers. Thanks, Facebook !".
Enjoy the Facebook.
