“Founded in February 2004, Facebook is a social utility that helps people communicate more efficiently with their friends, family and coworkers. The company develops technologies that facilitate the sharing of information through the social graph, the digital mapping of people’s real-world social connections. Anyone can sign up for Facebook and interact with the people they know in a trusted environment.”

Facebook

When you join as an individual you can create a profile with the opportunity to “connect” with current friends but also “reconnect” with long lost relatives, old school friends and former colleagues. On the Facebook platform, you can share photos, notes, groups, events and posted items with your network. You can also add applications from third- party developers to customise your Facebook page.

But Facebook is much more than just status updates. Facebook Company Pages allow you to start a two-way dialogue and exchange with people important to your business. On your Company Page, you can host discussions, upload videos and images, add an RSS feed and polls, and other clever applications that are engaging, entertaining or and/or viral in nature and improve the user experience.
