Facebook Love

There almost isn't a day that goes by where I don't sign in on my Facebook. I have to see what my friends are up to, what they think about my latest status update, and check out their most recently posted photos. And let's not forget the abundant supply of applications to keep us entertained everyday; after all, I don't want to let my crops go to waste in Farmtown.

Facebook is more than something to keep our minds engaged and fight off boredom (we have television and video games for that). It's a service that easily allows us to keep in contact with our friends, family, colleagues, and loved ones.With Facebook, it's so easy for college students to keep in contact with one another even after they go their separate ways after high school. I can still keep in contact with a friend who moves across the country. I can have a live chat with her, see photos of her, and basically keep in touch with her almost as though she were still here. And it's also a way for people to reunite with long-lost friends online, and even arrange meetings, because everyone is connected by specific networks (i.e. a Los Angeles Network, a network of people who went to your high school, etc.)

Of course, there is also Myspace as well. But honestly, I cannot stand Myspace. Sure, you are able to customize your homepage and tailor it to suit your personal tastes. However, this is not always a great thing. Not everyone is knowledgeable with HTML, and when you put an HTML-illiterate with complicated coding, you end up with an uncoordinated mess. Nothing looks put together, professional, or clean, making reading the actual words on the page quite difficult.

Facebook is much cleaner and neater in appearance. Though you can't customize your profile, the site overall looks much better that way. And aside from socialzing, there are thousands of "applications" you can allow on your page. There are games, quizzes, and truly all kinds of things that are fun and entertaining. There are just too many to name. And it's fun to tag one another in photos, and let people know, "Hey, that's me!"

Also, don't forget to become a fan of ITChair on Facebook. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Web Designing.
