What is facebook, is it a blog, chat room, locator for missing persons… or another site for questions?
Facebook is a Social Networking site. There are many of them available (such as MySpace, Bebo, Friendster, Twitter, etc). Each have their own benefits and faults, and each has their own uniqueness and ways of communicating with various people. Facebook has gained a HUGE edge over MySpace in terms of popularity because of its cleaner layout and design, increased Security, and more realness when dealing with people knowing that there’s an above 80% chance it’s them. Facebook also has pioneered Apps, and the way people share Pics with each other, as well as offering a streamlined Platform for people with similar Schooling, Interests, or Geography to relate and connect. Hope that helps.
