Facebook

Facebook is a social networking service launched in February 2004, owned and operated by Facebook Inc. As of September 2012, Facebook has over one billion active users, more than half of them using Facebook on a mobile device. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notification when they update their profile.

Users can create profiles with photos, lists of personal interest, contact information, and other personal information. Users can communicate with friends and other users through private or public message and a chat feature. They can also create and join interest group and "like pages".

Facebook has affected the social life and activity of people in various ways. With its availability on many mobile devices, Facebook allows users to continuously stay in touch with friends, relatives and other acquaintances wherever they are in the world, as long as there is access to the internet. It can also unite people with common interests and/or beliefs through groups and other pages, and has been known to reunite lost family members and friends.
