Social Network has been a revolution over last few years and continues to be so, thanks to Facebook. Facebook is a social networking site founded by Mark Zuckerberg, a resident of California, USA. It was founded by Mark in 2004 while he was still pursuing his MBA from Harvard. Initially, it was meant for College graduates only but gradually it is made public and can now be used by any individual. The company’s mission is to connect and share with their loved ones.
I have chosen this website for review as Facebook has more than 1.5 billion users and is very popular worldwide. People can relate to Facebook easily as compared to any other social networking platform. Let me list down some benefits and drawbacks of being an active Facebook user:
Benefits:
1) Staying connected with friends, relatives and acquaintances.
2) Know what’s happening around in the world.
3) A very effective branding and marketing platform.
4) Helps spreading awareness about any event/ belief/ fact.
5) Games are integrated for entertainment.
6) A secure and safe platform debating on different topics
7) One can raise his/her voice against/in favour of certain product/service/event/action.
8) Lot of features to keep your audience filtered.
=Drawbacks=
1) One can get too much involved and as a result lose time
2) Unnecessary stalking(if account is not managed properly)
We do associate pros and cons with almost everything. However, our focus should always be on what are the pros. Given all the facts above, I believe Facebook is an amazing invention which keeps us connected with and aware of the world around.
