What is it?
Facebook is one of the front-line social networking sites on the Internet. With a few clicks of the mouse, users have the opportunity to create a profile online, listing as much or little information they desire including everything from political affiliations to favorite books, interests to work history. Keeping up with friends, coworkers and family has never been easier with direct messaging, photo sharing, status updates and “wall” postings.
Who uses it?
Facebook boasts more than 250 million users, more than 120 of which log in each day. The fastest growing demographic of Facebook are those 35 years an older, and more than 5 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day world wide. With these statistics, it’s easy to see why Facebook has become an integral part of most everyone’s personal and professional life.
