For me,F(xiàn)acebook is about staying in touch with friends,whether that means writing on someone's‘wall'or sending them a private message.It's a useful website for finding long-lost friends,arranging parties and sharing photos.But that's not all:Facebook is now being used by all kinds of people for all kinds of reasons!
Do you want to play computer games?Log on to Facebook.There are now thousands of entertaining games and puzzles to help you pass the time.Do you want to find cafés,cinemas and bowling alleys in your area?Log on to Facebook pages that you can join and‘like',which makes it very easy to search for fun things to do near you.I think it's brilliant to have all the information that you want on just one website!
People are now joining Facebook to make professional connections too,either with people who do the same kind of work,or with businesses that are looking for new people to work for them.
It's a pretty good idea since so many people use Facebook these days,especially young people!Even students log on to Facebook to look for summer or part-time jobs.
And that's not all!Now there are hundreds of pages about sports teams,TV programmes and pop stars to look at on Facebook.However,I believe the main reason most young people use Facebook is because it's so easy to let the world know what you think about different things or people,whether it's about a new film at the cinema or whether you prefer Rihanna with long or short hair.You can even write comments directly on other people's Facebook pages including some stars'pages.But you have to be careful because giving your opinion online can be dangerous.
We mustn't forget that Facebook is meant to be fun and shouldn't be used for saying bad things about people around us.I recently read a news article about a student who had to leave school because she made rude and unfair comments about a teacher on her Facebook wall.Several other school students have been in trouble for similar comments and opinions.In fact,it really annoys me when I see somebody has written nasty things about another person!
It's true that Facebook is becoming more and more part of our daily lives for many different reasons,and it can be really helpful as well as being a lot of fun.But,as with all websites,we must be careful about how we use it.
