Facebook.com

♥ Facebook has become a colloquial term for a lot of those generation y and x kids, but over the past few years Facebook has been inundated with baby boomers and even generation z kids. This itself should show just how Facebook has become such a positive site which joins those from all races, religions and even generations. Through the site you can create your own profile page, find and add friends from all over the globe, group your friends and change your privacy settings so certain people can see certain things you post on your profile, compare the things you like with your friends as well as access to thousands of applications in which you can play games individually, as a team with your friends or even tournament type games against your friends. The site was originally created as a social network and if you are a part of a university or recognised network, you can also join a network as to get in touch with those you may see on a daily basis or have lost contact with over the years. There are some negatives if you are new to the site especially in regards to controlling and changing your privacy so you should get to know your way around the Facebook Help Centre as there is advice available from Facebook (which sometimes isn't helpful, but can be). Like everything on the site, you can post your opinion so if you are stuck and need help or want to share your opinion, search the Help Centre for guidance in where or how to do this or post something and someone will answer you. ♥

have been a member for years and it just keeps getting better - let's face it, facebook has changed the world! better than twitter as you can make your profile private and pick and choose who you will let see it

facebook has allowed me to find relatives and friends that i had lost contact with and i am so excited to be able to be a part of their lives again.

I'm a total facebook fan!!!! I'm on it almost every day. I emigrated over here from the uk nearly 10 years ago. I find it so easy to communicate to friends and family, its so simple to upload photos and through facebook I'm in contact with my high school best friend.

Free to join, a great internet communication tool for keeping in-touch with friends and family. Very addictive!

Facebook is an online social utility that connects people, to keep up with friends, upload photos, share links and videos.

Currently second most popular website globally, Google.com being number 1.

There is a lot you can do, as a starter:

- You 'write' on your wall with what's on your mind, or about what you are currently doing. - You can upload photos and video to share with your friends.

- You find and invite people to join your account as your 'friend'

- You browse a friend's wall to see what they are upto, or see what photos they have uploaded, and perhaps add a comment in reply.

- You can update your profile with your interests, eg. TV shows, movies, shopping interests, etc.

There are many fun games available ( I liked Texas Holdem Poker and Mafia Wars Game ) and most allow you to invite and play with your online facebook friends.

There are also other interesting applications available. One example being 'Family Tree', which is an application that allows you to build your family heritage tree.

Note: Be mindful what you write and what photos you share, as potentially you could have many many friends to share with.

Enjoy and happy facebooking!

So easy to keep in touch with all your friends anywhere in the world. Completely free as well. Although warning: may become addicted.

OMG! This is awesome! The best online chat website I have been on and now is the only one I will use to keep in touch with everyone, everywhere! I happily recommend Facebook to everyone, as it is fantastic to keep in touch with all my nieces & nephews (whom are sadly interstate), on a daily basis if required!

I love it!!!

A great communication method is the busy world we live in. I keep in touch with friends and family through facebook, and best of all is a free communication tool. Also fantastic that i have it on the mobile also!

I'm an addict of Face book i have it on my phone my email and my computer... i contact all old Friends and have made new ones

i love using face book i have come back in contact with friends from high school and i can keep in contact with my family near and far good to share photos

I use facebook to keep in contact with family overseas and friends that i normally couldn't speak to on a regular basis. It is fantastic to catch up on what they are all up to and see photo's. Sometimes however, there seems to be the odd occasion that something is taken out of context and has ended up being a regretable thing. So........ i like!!

The quality of Facebook is great. Good games and great tool for keeping in touch with friends and finding old friends. The security could be better but that's a problem with the whole Internet. Must admit I'm an addict.

Facebook is a great tool for keeping in touch with old and new friends, finding old friends who have been previously lost. Awesome networking tool! I have found so many of my old friends thanks to Facebook.

I am a total Facebook ADDICT!!!! I find myself always checking to see what all my friends are up to and to write about what I'm up to :D Though it is really easy to get carried away and forget you actually have a life LOL

If used responsibly, facebook is a fantastic tool for helping you keep in touch with friends, as well as help you find people you have lost contact with. They keep improving their privacy settings, but even so I would monitor children's use if you have children that use it.

Love It! I get to find old friends and see photo's of distant relatives & friends plus find things that are interesting. Facebook has opened up a new world of ideas, opinions and friendships

I have to admit that I am a total Facebook addict. I am on it daily checking in with who is doing what. It is great for me as I have an Aunty in Kuwait, an Aunty in Sydney, family in Melbourne etc so we can all keep in touch and share photos easily. It is also a great way to organise events and get-togethers. I find it much easier then emails.

Good way to interact with old friends that you have no seen or spoken in a long time. It's nice to see photos of your friends and the places they go to.

Meet your friends online. See what they have on their mind and how the spend their weekends. I have made lots of new friends online and check the website few times a day. It is fun!

i used to be a myspace girl and hated facebook but it takes some getting used to and then you love it, you can play games, join groups talk to people and post photos.

its great for talking to people over seas because everyone knows about it
