Some time ago due to a friend, I joined in Facebook. But I am not interested in it because I don't think it's very interesting to me yet. Perhaps I haven't found out yet. And a few days ago I read the news and learn one of the richest man is the founder of Facebook and he is only 23 years old. I am quite surprised to it. If you are a member of Facebook, can you tell me why it is so popular? I suppose it's popular as the owner is so rich.

i have a Facebook account so that I can look at my sister's holiday pictures. My daughter has one too so I occasionally say something rude to her. A couple of myLot friends can access my account too, so that they can gaze at my marvelous 6 pack stomach, my rugged manly features, and drool.

Oh no. I am very rude to my daughter, but then she is to me. But we don't say hurtful things. Just jokes.

Nah its not popular just coz the owner is rich. Its more popular because you can look at what your friends are doing and the look at the photos they may be uploading. Plus there are thousands of applications to add to your profile its easy to get carried away playing little games and things. It depends if you want to know people from your past, or if you want to communicate with people who live far away, my sister lives up country and we leave messages for each other and send each other little cyber gifts and things. Alot of people have got addicted to it, i was at first, but now i just check it every few days because its got a bit boring now.

Facebook is really an innovative social networking site. Addin to its charm is the ability of the user to add applications, pictures etc. Thus its much better than Orkut. In every aspect.

I too joined the facebook club. But I must admit, I am not very active there. In fact, I do not know if my account still exist. Most of the friends who joined there didn't find it all that nice a place to hang out. So we gradually left the place alone. So, I also cannot really tell you what the hype is all about.

I got it because a friend of mine invited me there but then I found out that she hasn't really spent much of her time there! I don't really think it's very interesting to me and I don't go there regularly. I guess it's popular here because some people tend to use it to find their long-lost friends.

In fact I can't something special in Facebook. I do think other websites work better.

One of my colleagues is also using facebook. I got to know from her that facebook users can upload a lot of photos there. As I did not pay much attention to it, I just ignored it though I said that I would later try to get an account there. But I am sorry to say that I still have not got one. I am thinking that mylot is good enough for me. This 23-year-old guy is really gorgeous to have founded such a popular site that attracts so many users to it. But I do not think that it is popular just because he is so rich. It must be some other reasons for the popularity of the Facebook. Thanks.

I found that if you are not a member of Facebook, you are unable to look at others' photos. This is why I have to become to a member of it.

i am a facebook member. it is so popular not because the owner is rich but because he used his ingenuity to develop the site. i find it more classy than the other sites and you can do a lot of things with it and hopefully develop a business network out of it.

But it seems other websites can do the same. So perhaps there is something special for Facebook as I guess...

Hi youless, I think its just as popular as any other networking site and it does have alot of applications on their. I don't particularly like it but only joined because I got an invitation from a relative. I hardly go on there though.

Hi youless, I have exactly the same doubt about this rich guy. But soon I realized that Facebook is exactly the same as our Chinese website xiaonei.com as well (maybe Xiaonei.com copy Facebook) So I think it's just for special guys who really need it.
