“Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.” Basically it’s a site where you upload your picture and profile and then try to find old friends or meet new ones through networks. As I recall it started as something only available to college students or alumni. I joined quite a while ago using my college alumni status and didn’t do much with it since then. Now that it seems to have opened up to everyone and thus is getting a lot more traffic. So far I have had the pleasant surprise to get connected with someone I went to Japan with during college and a guy who was an English teacher with me in Nagano. A really fun surprise to get in contact again with people who I haven’t seen in a long, long time.
Hi Justin,
I guess it is a bit like LinkedIN for what I send you and invitation last time. It looks like the Facebook is more oreinted on peopele who live or studied in the US.
I signed in but of coures I didn’t find any people which I know.
Tell me something more.
Jakob
I would say LinkedIN is more for business connections and Facebook is more oriented towards school connections. Though I think both are trying to expand into each other’s territory.
