I heard about Facebook a couple of years ago and that millions of people around the world are
its fans, especially students. I couldn't understand how and why that website attracts such many followers. Until I tried it, I found what the answer was. It's easy to sign up and it takes me some time to figure it out most of the functions. And I log on to it whenever I have time just to enjoy reading from friends and sometimes to leave a comment and feel very glad that it works! To me, the social networking sites satisfy the needs of people's communication to keep track of what is going on with your friends , family and acquaintances, to share photos and information not with just one person at a time but a whole lot in a fastest way and much more... Though interested in what it brings to me, I still have privacy concerns about keeping my personal life separate from my professional life in the online environment. And even in my personal social life account, I am still not confident to share a lot of my personal things on line for everyone (I mean friends I know but not very close to me) , and according to what I read , even if I delete my things, they are still in the database on line. My College has use Facebook , unfortunately, my Library has not used Facebook yet , I hope some time in the future it will . However, it is using some other social networking tools such as Instant Message, RSS Feeds, Twitter.
