Ask the modern-age kid what the letter F stands for, and with no surprise that he or she will answer “Facebook”. Love it; hate it there is absolutely no getting away from it. And it has made a lot of influences in our modern day lives causing some good and some not-so-good effects. Facebook is the world's most popular social networking website. It makes it easy for you to connect and share with your family and friends online. Facebook has even helped the web become more open and social. Originally designed for college students, Facebook was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg while he was enrolled at Harvard University. By 2006, however, anyone over the age of 13 with a valid email address could join Facebook. Today, Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over a billion users worldwide. Facebook has dramatically changed the way many people communicate online. As more and more people continue to join Facebook, it has become easier than ever before to share with the people you care about. At the same time, different services across the web have worked to integrate Facebook, creating a broader social experience online. If you join Facebook, you'll decide how you want to use its different features. Some people prefer to connect with just a few people, while sharing very little about themselves. Others like to connect with as many people as they can, sharing their information openly and publicly. Simply put, there's no single way to use Facebook it's all about discovering what works best for you.
