Facebook is a social networking site that has been extremely popular since 2006. Each member of the site can create a personal profile page, add other users as friends, exchange messages, and receive automatic notifications when they update their profile or others comments on their profile. Members of Facebook can customize their own profile page with personal photos, interests, contact info and other information. They can join groups for common persona interests with others, such as work, school, or just activities they enjoy.Facebook allows students to interact through Facebook chat (a one on one instant messaging feature), by posting on other people's pages which others are able to see and comment on, or by sending a private message (like an email). They can also post status updates, which are like blog posts that again anyone can comment on. So if someone didn’t know the math homework they could post on their own personal page “what is the math homework?” in hopes that any classmate that saw the post could help them. Instead of sending and waiting on one message, students have their whole school at their fingertips to contact just by posting something once. Lawrence Academy has their own Facebook page for the school as well as the Winterim page.In just 3 years Facebook has become one of the most popular websites in the world. People log onto Facebook from all over the globe. In places like China the government blocks the American-based site, but still people are able to downloaded illegal programs that allows them to use Facebook. Every day, people are checking Facebook to see what's going on.
