What is facebook
Facebook is a social networking website intended to connect
friends, family, and business associates. It is the largest of the networking
sites, with the runner up being My Space. It began as a
college networking website and has expanded to include anyone and everyone.
Face book was founded by 2004 by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg and originally
called the face book.

It was quickly successful on campus and expanded beyond
Harvard into other Ivy League schools. At that time, it was only available to
schools, universities, organizations, and companies within English speaking
countries, but has since expanded to include anyone. Face book users create a
profile page that shows their friends and networks information about
themselves. The choice to include a profile in a network means that everyone
within that network can view the profile. The profile typically includes the
following: Information, Status, Friends, and Friends in Other Networks, Photos,
Notes, Groups, and The Wall. Users are able to search for friends and
acquaintances by e-mail address, school, university, or just by typing in a
name or location for search. When people become friends, they are able to see
all of each others' profiles including contact information.

notifications let users know when new friends have chosen to add them to their
list or when someone has sent a message to them within the system. A popular
feature on Face book is the ability to share photographs uploaded from a phone,
camera, or hard drive. As with other private information, users have the option
to allow only friends to see their pictures or anyone. There is an unlimited
amount of storage available, which is a major advantage of Face book’s
photograph sharing capabilities.
