New phenomenon - Facebook

Communication is very important for our relationship and own development, too. Now way of it is changing. We very often use new form of contact, conversation. Oral communication is often replaced by telephone or data communication. We use internet, mobil to meet friends, to listen to radio ( online), to spend time. Funny programmes as ICQ, Google or Youtube are well-known among people. Now there is interestant phenomenon – Facebook.

Why is it so attractive to the young and adults people, too? I am sure, this social portal has one great advantage. Every body is looking friends up because it is simple, members are registred under full name.

Originally Facebook started out strictly for American students of Harvard and arose on 4th february in 2004. Gradually it was widespread and used by various universities in America. Nowadays Facebook has more than 150 millions users in the world. It is easily accesible in more than 170 countries and is translated into several languages. So you can find your long lost friends from around the globe. But there are more interests for you. You create profile, can choose to let only your friends see your profile or option to have no limits at all. Posting albums, sending messages to one another, scribbling notes on each other´s „walls“ or sending „gifts“ are funny way how to spend time. I like commenting on the photo, playing games and taking quizes. Option, to became fans of something, is great, too. You know actual infomation about your friends. If someone gange things on her profile, you will know. If someone uploads new pictures, you will know. And if someone writes on the other´s public wall, you will know and you can read it at your „ home“. But you do not worry about the privacy, it is not endangered. Publicing of something is your own decision,you have to allow it.

A large part of young people are registered at favourite network, Pokec, in Slovakia. But recently Facebook-boom is exploding in Slovakia. A lot of my friends, including me, have become members of this portal, they all migrate to Facebook. I think this is a super place for keeping in touch with friends amd making new ones. But you do not remember to keep real relationship, real contact.
