Facebook
The function of Facebook is to give the people of the world the ability to share information and make the social world more open and connected. Facebook is almost used as an experiment to see what the actual differences are between disparate groups. Facebook is meant to allow other people to become more involved in their lives and see what is going on with them and vice versa and is supposed to allow people to have control over their own information and allow certain people to see it and certain people to not according to Facebook’s statement of principles.
Facebook can be used for businesses for many different ways. Business opportunities are expansive in the social media world, especially in Facebook. Third party business can produce revenue because they can put a demo of their game into Facebook for all users to play for free with their friends and if they like it they can buy it to play on their smartphones or just have it for their computers. Facebook itself is a business and they benefit from the third party businesses by making those companies pay a fee to be allowed to put their games on the site. Facebook is also a place where businesses can put a page of their businesses up on Facebook for all of its users to see and the users can like the page and now not only will it expose their business to the nation and even the world they can see what the demographics are where their business would be most profitable and they would be able to see what kinds of people they should target the products of their business around.
Facebook is most notable for being a SOCIAL media website. Emphasis on the social because that is what a big part of this company is about, giving the users the ability to post what is going on in their lives and see what their friends are doing or have done like over the weekend. Facebook is also a very useful tool for getting back in contact with old friends that you may have went to high school with or friends in your old neighborhood or those who have moved away and you want to keep in touch more than the occasional phone call now and again. You are able to see what they do and you can also chat with your friends if you are both online at the same time and if they are not you can leave them a message and wait to receive a message back.
Entertainment is a part of what Facebook can do for you, you can watch funny videos that users have posted or pages you have liked and you can go on now and again if you are at home bored and you can see what is going on maybe you see that there is a party that you can go to or see if someone wants to chat if they are on.
Facebook can provide you with news if you have liked certain pages like the news channel page or you can get updates on players in sports that you follow or teams that you follow or even your own personal high school team by following the MSG Varsity page on the site.
Facebook can be used for setting up recreational activities or events or if you find yourself bored and have nothing else to do you can start to play all of the different games on Facebook because there are plenty of them.
