Editor's Notes
- Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg together with some of his roommates in college. Initially they limited the membership to the students of Harvard University but later on they allowed other users to register as members. It is estimated that by April 2010, about 42% of the US population had facebook accounts. The number has since risen rapidly. Users of facebook can be able to join different groups whereby they can be able to share information and interact with each other. If there is any new information, then it can be easily shared among the different members of any particular group. A person can be able to update his/her profile and then allow other friends to comment on them. Through this more interactions can be achieved.
- People can use facebook to facilitate communication in different ways and also ensure that they are always up to date with the occurrences across the globe.
