Facebook

This is the website that you use in order to use the facility:
www.facebook.com

Facebook is a recent communication network that enables people of all ages to interact with each other through comments and notices posted. Like Myspace, you can add and delete friends as you please, however Facebook profiles are more personal, giving you the option to the limit the type of people viewing your profile. Despite having said that Facebook was aimed at all ages, at the moment, it is predominantly teenagers who are using it. It seems that they have chosen to move from Myspace, to Facebook, as there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people using Facebook as their primary source for mass networking.

Having designed a made a profile that is personal to yourself, you can then start adding and making new friends. On the homepage (when signing in) you are welcomed with a somewhat notice board informing you of people that have added you and people that have added other people, outside of your network; this facility does however restrict the rights of privacy.

According to the ‘mission statement’ of the website, this networking system is used for the following things:

- Share information with people you know.
- See what's going on with your friends.
- Look up people around you.

Facebook successfully achieves this, as audiences are able to use the site to do the above things. Facebook have completetly taken for granted the advantages of the internet, using it as a broad platfrom from which networking and communicating has taken over.
