Facebook is primarily used by people to stay connected with friends and family but it's also a great resource for meeting people. It has saved us time: instead of calling your mom and telling her all about your vacation and then calling your aunt, and then calling each of your friends and trying to get together with everyone to show them your pictures or emailing them all - now you can post information once that everyone can read. You can also post all your pictures for your friends and family to view. Stay updated on what is going on in their lives also such as an engagement or new baby or the death of a pet. You can track everyone's birthday and send them a greeting for free - no more writing it on the calendar and mailing a card in time. You'll find that nowadays most businesses are on Facebook too. It's easier to follow a businesses updates or special offers on Facebook than to go to their website or have your email inbox flooded with messages.
Here is a quick video that explains Facebook without information overload. It is free to sign-up and use Facebook. All money is generated through the ads on the right-hand side and apps. It's a great way to share thoughts, information, photos, videos, updates and meet new people. Heck you can even find most of your high-school class on Facebook. So don't be afraid to check it out. You may not know what Farmville is or how to poke someone, but it's very easy to use to stay connected.
