#HOW FACEBOOK WORKSSS#

Many people simply use Facebook to post information, interact with others, and enjoy themselves. But there is more to it. Much like Google, Facebook pays attention to what its users do. For example, it will look at the similar connections people share. When you’re connected with Friend A and Friend B, Facebook will suggest that Friend A and Friend B also become friends. This networking helps to connect people all around the world. Facebook also pays attention to the things you like, offers you click on, and what you share. It might seem creepy, until you realize what a benefit this can be in promoting your home business. Why Students Make Facebook pages:-
nGenerates a sense of community
nCan  be used as a form of advertisement
nSeen as a forum to postulate views
nHigh School Facebook might lead to College use
nFun way to stay connected to old friends












#Academic support (Connects people through classes, fosters partnerships)..........
#Allows for self-expression and self-representation..........
#Student groups use it as a form of communication...........
#Part of the new on-line communication movement............
#Free form of mass communication..............
