Blog assignment #29/Facebook

                    Facebook

Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. It's a great to meet friends and keep up on what they are doing. Once you add a friend to your Facebook friend list you will always know when they are adding things to their blog or updating their photos. Join Facebook groups to meet people like you, or search the profiles to find new friends. Facebook's classmates and co-worker search is good for finding friends too.

You can add photos and photo albums to your Facebook profile. Also, use the blog feature to create your own simple blog or you can merge your existing blog right into Facebook's blog. Search and browse for people on Facebook using just about any search features. You can not add music to your Facebook profile. You also cannot add video to your Facebook profile. You can also chat with your friends when they are online and send them mail.

You can use facebook just about anytime; when you want to chat with a friend or maybe you are bored. Facebook is beneficial because you can stay in touch with friends and family. Facebook can be harmful because people can see your personal information and predators can see your profile picture and stalk you. If you are under 13, you shouldn't have a facebook, unless your parents are aware, and are monitoring your facebook. You should never give out your personal information to people you don't know.

You shouldn't add people you don't really know.

People should watch what they say and on Facebook. If it is inappropriate, you will get caught. To stay safe, you can select who can see your profile, and what they can see. You select everyone, friends only, only you, or you can select out of your friends who can see your posts, pictures, and profile. You shouldn't put your contact information if your are under 18. All of your friends can see this and contact you; including the people you accept as your friends, that you don't know. You can choose to be safe on Facebook or ignore, but it's better safe than sorry.
