Reviewing Facebook

Facebook is a social network where you can keep in touch with friends and family, you can post pictures of a recent vacation or pictures of the new member of the family, it is also used to speak up and let everyone know your opinion on certain things.

It is very easy to obtain a facebook account you just have to register by entering some personal information like your name, and email address. It also asks for phone number, current city, your work place, but these are optional, and in my personal opinion not recommended. You have the option to make your account open to the public so anyone can see it or you can make it private so only the people you are friends with can see your posts, pictures, and videos.

I like this website because it allows me to stay in contact with friends and family members that I had lost contact, because I had moved or because of our busy schedules for example I have so much more communication now with my cousin Veronica she joined the army years ago and last year she was in Iraq, my cousins and I were able to keep in touch with her, and have the reassurance that she was OK. I have found high school friends that I haven’t seen in years thanks to this website I’ve learned that some are married some are engaged and most of them are parents.

But like everything facebook has its bad things too. Some people post too much information and that has led to robberies or in one case where a young girl met a man through this network and invited him to visit her without really knowing this person, she was found dead and security videos confirmed that the last person in her home was that person that she had met through facebook.

It is always fun to find that friend you haven’t seen in years and catch up, my only recommendation is do not post too much information, and only approve people you know.
