Facebook.com originated in 2004 to facilitate social interaction exclusively among college students. The site now includes more than 49 million users and is available for use by anyone with a valid email address. Facebook operates by allowing users to select oneor more “networks” to which they will belong, such as a specific high school or university, a geographical area or city, or a company. Some networks, such as a university or a metropolitan area, may include thousands of members. Each user maintains a “profile,” which is a webpage containing basic information such as the individual's year of graduation and home town, as well as personal information,such as his or her name and whether he or she is single or in a relationship (i.e., “relationship status”). Users may inform others about what they are doing by changing the “current status” message that appears at the top of the profile.


In addition, Facebook allows users to designate “friends.” An individual who is invited to be a member's Facebook friend may either accept or reject theoffer, thus providing individual control over one's list of friends. The user can control how much information to post and who can view this information by editing their privacy settings. Specific groups of people (a network or friends) may be granted limited access to specific parts of the profile.


Facebook members can upload digital pictures into virtual photo albums. A user can be “tagged”in these pictures so that his or her name appears in the caption as a link to his or her profile. If the individual does not want to be associated with the picture, he or she can “untag” it, thereby removing the name and the link (though this does not remove the picture). Members are able to post comments on photos, which appear as messages below the picture. Similarly, it is possible to post linksto videos.





Facebook offers several options for communicating with others. Users can interact by sending private messages, similar to emailing. Members who are “friends” may post public messages on each other's “walls,” which are personal message boards on their profiles. Communication may also occur in groups, which Facebook members can create and join. Groups may be formed on anytopic (e.g., Procrastinators Unite…Tomorrow; Indian Classical Dancers; I am a Carnivore). Offline social interactions can be facilitated through Facebook by creating invitations to events, or online notifications for meetings, parties, and other gatherings. Users may also post “notes” or blog-like entries that are linked to their profile pages.
