I am an user of Facebook.I have also set up a page for my company on Facebook. Other than this, I visit Facebook very often just for time-pass.
Facebook is a concept that has caught on well. Thanks to Facebook we can contact people whom we have met or studied or worked with before. We kind of believe everyone is on Facebook. Why is everyone on Facebook? Because we have a lot of free time & we like to spend it with our friends.
Apart from that a lot of companies, specially those in the entertainment space like advertising agencies, film production cos, web design cos all have presence on Facebook. By visiting these pages and like-ing them you become privy to their day-to-day activities.
Facebook is also an open community. That is if I want to view the details of any person who is on Facebook I can do so and they will never ever know.Thats actually very bad but blame Facebook for this strange situation.
Facebook is actually a storehouse of information. Look for what you are interested in and you will find a lot of material that you will probably like. Facebook is a great favorite particularly with the educated middle class. People who are into their fortieth or fiftieth year like to link with their friends using Facebook. They relive the good old days spent in school or college through meetings organized using Facebook.
A lot of things are discussed on Facebook pages. Politicians use Facebook to enhance their popularity and use it as a campaign tool. So do filmmakers to promote their movies. But at heart Facebook is a network of friends who may live in different corners of the world but are linked by memories, photographs, songs and such other things.
