I start using face book before almost three years ago. I meet many people there whom i have missed and didn't meet from a long time. My university fellows and my students also and i get many other advantages by using face book. I become really very happy to get my friend and students after a long time. Many people use face book to get money also and we can get latest fashions knowledge and many other info through it. Why you people use face book?

You are so right. Facebook is a good way to keep up with your friends and acquaintances. It is not the same as E-mail. You get to see pictures and other things about your friends and relatives. Many times I want to call up one of my friends, but I get so busy, I just get on Facebook. However, talking to your friends personally is more meaningful, I think

it is because it is very addictive and more people want to get connected with their friends

I love Facebook because I can communicate with my friends and distant relatives. It is very cheap way of video calling and it also offers free text messaging and so it did help a lot when there is no more prepaid load and I am online in Facebook and i need to reply back my loved ones. I use Facebook during my idle time here in the office and I think I am already addicted into it. lol

People use facebook mainly because to catch other's attention. I hate it when someone or somebody is sharing his/her private life in the newsfeed. I just hate it. On the other side, facebook is also used for communication. Even for extra money, many people have already made tons of money using social media sites.

I wanted to connect with my high school friends and relatives from abroad. I think that since the development of Facebook, it has never been that easy to be reunited to with lost family and friends. Although there is YM and Skype which we can also use to communicate with them, Facebook allowed us to share a lot more things that ordinary instant messages can give.

I also use Facebook to get in touch with friends who I see often and some who I have not seen for a long time. Generally, my use for Facebook is to know more about what my friends are involved in. It's very difficult to contact them and meet them face-to-face because a lot of my friends have moved far away. But I am glad Facebook is around to help ease the distance gap between me and my friends. However, I have noticed I have been using it less often than before; it's due to the fact me and my friends have their own lives, which just seems to get busier as we age.

Facebook seems to me to be a great gathering platform. People consider Facebook on different aspect and purpose. Whatever aspect or purpose it has, all must admit that it is a great and most effective source of building relationships and a great way of bonding the relationship strong.

People use facebook for many reasons. It can be for communication, for sharing thoughts or ideas or for any other reasons.I use Facebook mainly when I have to communicate with group members for a project or an activity. It's easy to find people in facebook. Years back I used facebook as an outlet for my thoughts, too, but I kind of tired with that, so right now I just use Facebook for communication. Sometimes when I'm bored I also log in and read the news feed and Like those that interest me. But I seldom post or comment now. Can't think of anything to say, I guess.

People use facebook just to communicate their relatives,they also use facebook to share knowledge and also play some games...The use of facebook for me is to make me better when i have a problem or im down, because i can communicate my fiend which i can tell my problem to them...Facebook use for viral purposes mostly in getting to know each other or for business purposes.

Facebook is a social networking site. This enables people to communicate through the internet. Knowing some of the whereabouts of your friends and family outside the town or country. Means of communication and the outlet of boredom of the people. Also this is a way of expressing oneself through status, and pictures and videos. Also a new means of meeting new people and the appearance of old mates.

Hello. Actually, this question can be answered by almost all people from age brackets 8 years and above. Many people use it in different ways. even businesses do it for their own advantage. i, personally, use Facebook as a means of communication to my friends and relatives, especially those who are far away from me. it's a very effective tool in helping people get connected. FAcebook has its upsides and downsides. and it's up to the users to use the tool responsibly. i know i use it responsibly. how about you? do you use it for the purpose of keeping in touch? or do you have any other purposes?

I started using Facebook four years ago. Before I was really fascinated with Friendster and I have only known Facebook because of Farmville. After a while, I got to play other games like restaurant games, poker, and the like. Facebook innovated just a couple of months and Friendster started to lose its popularity. Facebook became an all-in website where you can play, share thoughts, share pics, and connect with your friends. It became a success. Now, it is also an avenue to earn money. I can't imagine life now without Facebook.

Yes, you are right, using facebook, people can meet their old friend, new friend, get money, get information etc. I think that's why all like facebook. In my country facebook have been one tool to share other than twitter and Black Berry. This social network has influenced all people in the world. maybe about 20% people in the world that do not use facebook as their social network. Have a nice day.

Several reasons why people use facebook: sharing news is one, for example. Another big reason is to keep myself updated, you know, the lastest trends and videos and stuff like that. It's also quite good to find new music... I have found so much great stuff over the years thanks to facebook, and those things even changed me as a person! Another big reason is to battle boredom. It's just something to do when you haven't got anything else to do!

I use Facebook to connect with my friends.The Facebook chat is a good media communicate with our buds.we could also be in touch with our family members especially those staying abroad. And one important feature is the photos that we upload and those photos of our people which we use to like :) .The Facebook pages feature helps us in being updated about our favourite brands, movie stars, celebrities etc . The Facebook groups feature enables us to spend our privacy with a particular group which may be our college batch, Working group , Organization etc...
