Beginning life as a site for college students to keep up with friends, Facebook is now open to everyone – even old folks like me.
Facebook lets you keep in contact with friends and family. Within the closed community of Facebook you can communicate without the problems of SPAM email.
Facebook is one of the largest repositories of photos on the net. You can store them all there and share them with others.
Now Facebook has opened the doors to outside developers to build programs that work within Facebook, known as apps. (for applications).
Using Facebook apps lets you customize your Facebook page and make it more useful and fun.
