Facebook is a social network web that have started since 2004. In facebook, you can meet people who you know and chat with them even if they live across the world. Facebook was found by a guy name Mark Zuckerburg and his roomates along with some fellow students of the Harvard university.
To use facebook, you need a facebook account, it is a quite simple process because it is quite similar to Renren. In fact, renren came from Facebook. You need to create an account by entering your first and last name, a password, your email address, your birthday, a security question, a code and also agree to the terms and rules made by the facebook administrators and officials.
Over time, facebook have been very popular. It had reached the amount of 130 million visitors at the year 2010, and it is still rising as more people are joining facebook everyday in order to keep a closer contact to people and joining social networks and meeting new friends.
However, facebook have gotten several critizism as it is blocked in several countries, and China being one of them. It is heard that on facebook, people have made offensive and inappropriate remarks about China and ultimately lead to facebook being blocked in China. However, facebook is usable in HongKong, despite it being a city in China.
Facebook may be blocked, but it can be reached by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), it can be either free or paid. I think it is a great place to communicate and interact with others, and also a great place to chat with friends over long distances. If you are a facebook user, Add me! Thank you!
