Facebook Analysis.

Facebook is a social networking service and website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook As of February 2012, Facebook has more than 845 million active users. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile.

People on the business side of Facebook is that the business owners use this to get out the message about their product sop when people like their product it comes up on the users home page and they see  it so it con go around facebook quickly. Companies can pay to put their ad on one of these sites and it could result in more business success by the company. Facebook also tries to gear their ads toward people that may have an interest in the product. Some of the negatives in business can be that these sites are very distracting. They may decrease the productivity of the office and have a poor affect on business. Also, these advertisements may not reach a desired target market since there are so many people on these sites.

The social aspect of this is for people to connect to their friends and post statuses to tell their friends what they are doing at that time. They can also share photos with all of their friends. They will post some comments on pictures to tell them about it.

Entertainment is involved on both these sites. There are advertisements about games and entertainers also have accounts. If you become a fan of an entertainer on Facebook, you become informed with their shows and other things. A singer can post videos of new music videos and inform their fan base. Some negatives can be that an entertainer’s whole fan base may not be on these sites so it can’t be their only form of promotions and sharing of information and there are also games people can play and hook up with facebook to compete with their friends.

This can be used to get the message out to them public about the thing you want to be talking about in the news. The news channels can keep people up to date with all of the commotion on a subject and they can announce to the public the weather or anything people would like to know. One bad thing that is talked about is that not everyone can receive the news because not all people have facebooks.

                Recreationally, many people are a fan of their favorite teams on Facebook. They gain information about their teams for fun. This makes it easy for people to pursue their interests over the internet. A negative is that Facebook shouldn’t be the only form that people pursue their recreational interests because they miss out on a lot of other thing.
