Facebook

Facebook is a free social networking site which allows you to stay in touch with friends all over the world, or just to chat to your mates. Photos can be uploaded and it is a way to have a presence on the web. Your page is a digital identity.

Mark Zuckerberg founded facebook while he was a student at Harvard University. Website membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 175 million active users worldwide.
The large majority of my year has facebook. In the past it was different to have facebook. Now you are considered different not to have an account. Facebook is good fun and lets you do lots of things. It has combined msn, bebo and flickr. Msn is an instant messaging site, bebo lets you customize your homepage and flickr is adding and commenting on photos. Some would say that facebook is taking over peoples lives and becoming far too large.
There are many controversies over facebook and huge arguments have sprung up.
The first is about invasion of privacy. People put their personal details on facebook.I beleive that if you put information on Facebook, then you should have to accept the consequences of whatever happens to it. If you put information on the web then it can be manipulated so you should be careful.But a photo of you is tagged, it will appear on your site. This doesn't sound so bad as maybe you want the photo. But if it is a photo of you at a party the night before, then you want some of your friends to see it but not your close family or your boss.
Most people don't know how to avoid this but there is a way. You can choose who sees each photo or video and create friend groups. Some people have been fired because of photos on facebook and lives have been ruined. Most users do not know that there is a way. Follow the link below and all will be revealed.
