Facebook

I’ve already talked about facebook in other post, but in a general way and comparing it to the fotolog, but I think that I have to talk again about it because it’s a subject which is becoming more importance every day.
Facebook is a web site created by Mark Zuckerberg, one of the richest man of his age because of creating the site. It was originally created for Harvard students but today it is open to everybody who has got an internet connection. Now there are already 200 millions of users, from the date it has been opened to everybody in September 2006.

According to Alexa.com the site came up from place 60 of the most visited sited to number 7 in only one year.

The services that offers are the facility of searching friends or meet new ones in a very simple way of search: if you know his or her name, you can try if he or she is in facebook and add them as a friend. Another important thing in the page is the facility of sharing and sending pictures, videos and other interesting archives. You can put what you want in you page and the people who is allowed can go and take what they are interested for, for example, pictures or videos.
There is a page, called “wall” which shows you what other people are doing, what they wrote, and the games they played: some of them are quite interesting because they put on approval your knowledge about geography and your ability in memory games. Some of them are: Pet Society, Who has the biggest brain, Geo Challenge, Word Challenge, Bowling Buddies... I played minimum once every game, just to try them!
