In the starting days, the registration to Facebook was allowed to limited people only. Only students of Harvard College could be a member of this website. Gradually, it was extended to the students of Boston University, MIT, Ivy League and Boston College as well. But recently, the membership of this site has been opened up for everyone. So, now anyone from any strata of society can become a part of Facebook and enjoy the benefits.

The second best thing about Facebook is that it has a number of networks. These networks are according to the regions, schools, universities and workplaces. You can find out people easily through these categorized networks. You can also be a member of these networks and be an active participant in the things like polls and events going on these networks.

Also, you can make your own network once you become a member of Facebook. After making a network, you can invite people to join it. This network becomes visible on the site and the members can search for it. Hence, here on Facebook, you not only get chance to re-connect with your old school or college friends but you can always make new friends as well.

You can find people who have same interests like you, who live near-by your area or who have the same background. Each network has its own discussion board where you can discuss anything with the other members. Thus, it gives you a platform to share your thoughts and vies on different issues of life.

Another great aspect of Facebook is that you can turn on the privacy settings. This enables you to protect your photos and notes from being read by strangers. It doesn’t allow the strangers to intrude into your profile. Only your friends are able to visit your profile. However, you are free to visit others’ profiles.

Now, you might ask how to get started with this fun filled affair? Well, all you need to do is be a member of Facebook and you get the chance to upload your profile. Once you do that, you can add your photographs in that profile. And mind it that you can upload as many photos as you want. Afterwards you can also tag your friends and let them see your uploaded photographs.

More than that, you can also upload notes and your blogs! Isn’t that interesting? Imagine you can share your blogs with all your friends. This means that your friends do not need to visit your blog page to find out whether there is something new or not. They will be updated with Facebook only. So, in this way you can also see the updated photos and notes of your friends. This means you stay connected with your friends through the Facebook.
