People are already in the social networking craze. Let us find out what's the best choice for the users.
Loading poll. Please Wait...
What is Facebook?
It is a social networking site where people from around the globe can instantly access and connect with each other.It is very hot with High school and College students because they can instantly make friends and connect with them.
They can upload photos personally taken and customize profiles that suits them and their personality.
So, why does it Click?
For some reason, aside from socializing and connecting, it has expanded it features to games, groups, fan pages, chats, and joining of other networks that are within the locality or internationally made.I've listed out the basic applications the facebook has that made it very accessible and addictive to use
(From my facebook experience and from observation)
1. GAMES
Yes, games! and a lot of them...Not only is it fun but it can be very addictive to use. Even those who can't and don't know how to play will practice and learn just to play!!To Name a few, here are some of those games:
Farms Pals
Sunshine Ranch
Farm Town
Farmville
Animal Ranch
Barn Buddy
Sunshine Garden
Farm Land
Street Racing
Mafia Wars
Fashion Wars
Pet Society
Restaurant City
blah, blah... so many to mention....
So, are we working on it?
2. TRIVIA AND QUIZZES
Yeah, TrIvia!! All right!!! And a lot of them...This site engages in trivias that people will easily get hooked on.
It features trivias from love to fun and more...
What's the best part is that you can make your own trivia of yourself or anything just for fun and send to your friends for them to answer, Is it not the most wonderful thing? You can manage your own trivia here.
It's Perfect!
3. GROUPS OF INTEREST
Facebook has a lot of groups connected in them that suits your interests and needs. Not only does it benefit the facebooker but also gain more friends of the same wavelength and passion.From my experience, I have joined the Circle of Moms group. It's really interesting and fun. I acquired new friends and meet new moms like me. I gained new knowledge as I am with them because I found their suggestions and advices very useful.
So, why not join now!!
4. THE LOVELY PICTURES
Its the old fashion way of exposing the self but it still works here on facebook. It shows the real you or may be something more.It creates the the originality and imagination of the person in dealing with the camera. It brings out the talent, skills, and artistry for photography.
With this site, no need to upload pics from another friend if it has your face on it, Just "tag" it, and Viola! the picture is on your photo album already.
Have you noticed that for some people who look so ordinary in real life may be so dashing and elegant in the pictures in Facebook?
What are you waiting for, take a pic now!
5. CHAT...CHAT...CHAT...
Its the Chat that Matters! Right! The Chat!!!CHAT CHAT CHAT.... blah blah blah...
Do I have to expound?
Its fun talking to someone right away when you need them.
Its also amazing talking to them even when their miles away.
With this site, no need to open up something like YM or Skype to chat with a friend who is also online. Just click the chat box and your on your way.
6. SHARE OF POSTs
What the facebooker thinks or says or does is directly posted to all the the friends wall. These in turn can be liked and commented by the friends of the facebooker. Amazing! Isn't it?Pictures can even be shared. It's like a shoutout to everybody who is connected to you. You can even post your own site here.
We like to share what's in our mind and the whole world, or so our world in facebook, knows about it an instant. Cool!!!
7. COMMENTS
Peope just LOVE comments. Don't we?With this site, people get instant comments on what your latest buzz and chikkas. Replies are easily sent and read right away.
Some used this as something they can explain or give their opinion on.
What the world thinks about you, you will have the views right away...
Its more fun this way, it more interactive..
8. OWN GROUPS
One can actually have their own limited or open groups to the public.Its one way of putting together all your friends and relatives in the same page , like a second facebook, actually! But in your own group..
Whatever its called!
So have one, its easy as one, two and three... Boom! you have your own group to run, no need to make a new account..
Go make it now!
Lastly, ITS IN!!!
WELL, When the world announced that the newest fad for Social Networking Site is Facebook, Naturally, What's In is What's Hot. People attaches and tries to update everytime, so with this in mind, because it was said so, people used it...So, there you have it!

- I recently had to totally rethink my Facebook strategy. I'm a writer; so, naturally I wanted to get my writing out to the world in the easiest way possible. I had joined way too many groups on Facebook and became totally overwhelmed by the experience. I have now reduced my group membership to a manageable level and I hope to become a valued member and contributor to the Facebook community.
