Facebook is a free social networking site that allows everyone -from high school classmates to business colleagues- to connect online. Through facebook, you can communicate with old friends or find new ones that share your interests. Search for friends by browsing name, location, company, workplace, or network. You can also join groups that reflect your beliefs or hobbies. Once you are connected to others, you can share videos, pictures, quizzes, comments, advertisements, events, and ideas. Express yourself with a detailed profile, a blog, or a survey. Facebook is a photo album, an address book, a classified paper, a mailbox, a memo board, and an overall companion to your social and professional needs.
