Benefits and evils of a very popular network
Review of Facebook by
shimakc1
Advantages: huge network, easy to keep in touch with friends and family
Disadvantages: non selective membership, too many applications, addictive
...only communication is on their facebook wall, but it's easy and convenient. Plus, a ton of my friends are still in college and I find it to be a very appropriate way to communicate with my busy friends, so that they can respond when they have time.
When I first started using face book I was obsessive compulsive about it. I would spend hours on it daily, inviting every person I'd ever met to be a friend, and going through other people's profiles ...

A Necessary Evil
Review of Facebook by
Blanchardlawn
Advantages: Applications, Expansive base, Constant updates
Disadvantages: Loss of privacy, Annoying updates, Poor for blogging
I visit Facebook every day to check up on what my friends are doing and to share photos from my daily life.
The Best:
1. Applications.
Almost anything is possible. Outside companies create "applications" that can be added to your page. These are the ones I use most often:
*Photos-you can create albums of photos uploaded from a computer, or sent from a phone. You can also add "tags" to your photos to point out your friends. This way when ...

Faces on facebook!
Review of Facebook by
frankiecesca
Advantages: Fun, free and keeps you in touch with everyone
Disadvantages: Can be addictive!
...may be difficult to find. Facebook realises this and so when searching it will make it relevant to you as such by bringing up people in the same country first or those users who maybe already have a friend listed the same as one of your existing friends as more than likely you are looking for a mutual friend. Failing that you can search by whats known as networks - this is where users have joined a network that is relevant to them such as the city ...

Fun to use as long as you're patient!
Review of Facebook by
lclabr
Advantages: widely-used, great way to connect with friends/colleagues
Disadvantages: lots of kinks in the integration with applications, difficult to navigate
I joined Facebook several years ago and barely used it. All of my friends seemed to be more interested in MySpace and then inexplicably, within the past 6 months or so, there seems to have been a mass migration to Facebook and now my friends and I use Facebook primarily. I have to say that my favorite part about Facebook isn't the social networking but the applications and games that you can install/add on to your profile. They have everything from ...

Facebook
Review of Facebook by
celestiel
Advantages: A good way to find lost friends and family. It's FREE!
Disadvantages: Can not personalize backdrop.
...have recently been introduced to Facebook and reallly like it. Because of Facebook and Myspace I was able to reconnect with lost friends from College and High school. I was amazed to see how many of my friends and family are on Facebook. It's apart of the future now a great way to connect, network, and socialize via internet.
There are many reason why this site is pretty cool and one reason not so cool.
Pros;
+ Easily navigate your way through ...

Facebook, It's fab!!!
Review of Facebook by
rga1
Advantages: Find old friends and keep in touch with the current ones
Disadvantages: The site can be slow and there are too many applications
I only registered on Facebook as my best friend wanted to share some photo's she took of my wedding in New York. I registered and looked at the photo's and pretty much left it at that!!
However, I then went on maternity leave and rediscovered the site as a lot of friends from work use it. I think it's great, I can keep in touch with all my work mates as we work shift we don't always get to chat at work.
I also convinced the sister in law to ...

Not MySpace
Review of Facebook by
lindybrasher
Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Not really fun
I am not really all that into Facebook. It did not appeal to me at all. You can add friends but there is not many ways you can be create with your page. This site is a so-so site. I guess if you are not into the MySpace craze then this would be an okay place to meet new people and look up old friends. I wish it had more ways to add color and character to your profile. This would give MySpace a run for their money. I dont even think that you can add ...

Nothing Special
Review of Facebook by
ahilario80
Advantages: Applications
Disadvantages: Not much room for customization
I'm not too impressed with FaceBook. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have been a member of MySpace for over 4 years now and I just recently joined FaceBook, but it doesn't do anything for me. My fiance sent me an invite and I joined, but haven't really done much with it. I have a handful of people on my friends list, but they are all just about on my MySpace list as well. I don't like that I can't customize the page's look like we can do on ...

Decent Site
Review of Facebook by
bboothe83
Advantages: Keep in Touch with Friends, Tag Pictures of Other Members
Disadvantages: Lack of Privacy Controls
...thing was to have a Facebook page so that you could keep in touch with all of your friends from class. Facebook made some changes and started to allow people to sign up that wasn't in college, so that allowed you to keep in touch with family and other friends as well. I don't like Facebook as much as Myspace, because I feel like you can control your Myspace account more than Facebook. With Facebook, you cant stop who writes stuff on your wall and ...

User-friendly and accessible.
Review of Facebook by
metaphorixx
Advantages: clean layout, profile screening, easy access
Disadvantages: too many applications
I joined Facebook when the craze started a few months ago. It's a clean-cut website, easy to use and easy to understand-- different than MySpace, but most definitely not worse.
In terms of accessibility, Facebook is incredibly user-friendly. All of its forms and fields are straightforward and easy to understand, and its layout is clean, a nice change from the cluttered and noisy backgrounds of MySpace and other related sites. Its privacy settings ...

Facebook - Better than Myspace?
Review of Facebook by
JohnA
Advantages: Able to add more things to your profile
Disadvantages: lack of background setting
I have found facebook to be a somewhat helpful tool in terms of located long friends and classmates. I am currently working with a group to try and locate members of my 1983 graduating class. I have used both facebook and myspace for this endeavor and found that the facebook seems to be doing a little better in terms of finding others. I do tend to like the facebook more because of the simple fact that it gives you more things you can do or sign up ...

Facebook is fun from time to time
Review of Facebook by
Justine82
Advantages: Fun applications, easy to meet new people and keep in touch with friends
Disadvantages: Confusing
I have both a facebook account and a myspace account and I have to admit that I rarely log onto facebook. I love the applications that facebook uses because you really get involved in the community and meet new people. It's a lot of fun but It just seems less personal to me. I can't express myself as much on my homepage. I also find it a bit confusing to use. I just started using facebook about 9 months ago and am still trying to figure it all out. ...

Nothing Special
Review of Facebook by
LittleRena
Advantages: Keeping in touch
Disadvantages: Annoying applications, messy layout
...but never met. I used Facebook to keep in touch with people I actually know so my friends list is down, haha.
Friend counts aside, the real thing that bugs me about Facebook is the large number of applications and people constantly sending them you. If I had more friends, I'd be more annoyed by the amount, it's a good site if you are into annoying applications and everying, but it's not really a site for everyone. ...

can do a lot
Review of Facebook by
jabbusch-girl
Advantages: finding old friends
Disadvantages: not too many kinds of graphics
I come across this web site by accident a while ago. My step kids even have a profile on this site. It is kind of cool just very simple looking or I think it is. You can do the same as some other sites and keep in touch with others and even make new friends. I can even find some friends that I have not talked to in years on this site. Which makes me very happy. It does not have as many graphics as some sites do but it is ok. It is very easy to use ...

facebook does not have many graphics
Review of Facebook by
livingdeadgirl
Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: not many graphics
This is a nice little website that you and others may like to visit and set you up a profile. You can do lots of things on the website but it does not have many graphics at all. It is good for keeping in touch with others or even making new friends. It keeps your mind off other things as well. It is something that I would think others would love to take a look at. As for any web site though you must be careful about who you meet on the web site. I ...
