Facebook

What is Facebook?

Facebook [www.facebook.com] is a social media website where you can connect to people you already know in real life, meet new people you want to network with, or get informed about local businesses.

Notable Features

Anti-anonymous: unlike many other websites on the web, Facebook has an anti-anonymous policy: all users are required to register with their real names.

Big: Facebook is the largest social media website in the world.

Real-time chat: you can chat in real time with anyone in your friends' list.

Post Content: you can post text, images, and videos on your profile page.

Post Interactions: other users can comment on your posts or react by clicking a like button or other kind of emotion button on your post.

User Interactions: You can follow people without befriending them. You can block people.

Groups: you can join groups, communities, centered about a certain topic.

For brands: you can create a page for your own business or brand, listing your services, posting promotions, and even selling products.

Many websites have a Facebook page where they share their latest posts or articles for users who wouldn't bother to check the website from time to time to view new posts, or use an RSS client.

You could even say many small businesses decide to not make their own websites because their Facebook page appears to provide sufficient online presence for them.
