7. FACEBOOK STRUCTURE
 News Feed- News Feed includes status updates,
photos, videos, links, app activity and likes from people,
Pages and groups that you follow on Facebook.
 Friends- "Friending" someone is the act of sending
another user a friend request on Facebook.
 Wall- The Wall is the original profile space where
Facebook users' content until December 2011 was
displayed. It allowed the posting of messages, often
short or temporal notes, for the user to see while
displaying the time and date the message was written.

8.  Timeline - Since December 15, 2011, a Timeline is the
new virtual space in which all the content of Facebook
users is organized and shown.[12] Replacing the
Facebook Profile, in a Timeline the photos, videos, and
posts of any given user are categorized according to the
period of time in which they were uploaded or created.[
 Like - Described by Facebook as a way to "give positive
feedback and connect with things you care about", users
can "like" content such as status updates, comments,
photos, and links posted by friends, pages, groups, and
advertisers

9.  Messages and inbox - Since the
website's founding, it has allowed users to
send messages to each other.[24] A
Facebook user can send a message to
any number of his/her friends at a time.
Deleting a message from one's inbox
does not delete it from the inbox of other
users, thus disabling a sender to undo a
message sent by him or her.

10.  Notifications - Notifications tell the user that something
has been added to his or her profile page. Examples
include: a message being shared on the user's wall or a
comment on a picture of the user or on a picture that the
user has previously commented on.
 Groups - Facebook Groups can be created by individual
users. Groups allow members to post content such as
links, media, questions, events, editable documents, and
comments on these items.

11. What is timeline?
 A: Timeline is a section of a Facebook user's
account that replaces the Profile and Wall
pages, and merges them together.

Finder feature, you can search for any person who is on
Facebook by entering different keywords like city, school
or university name, age, etc. Addition to the Friend
