Get started on Facebook today!

What’s the hottest website on the Internet nowadays? No, not the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer that rocked the world, or the Halo 3 E3 trailer that made people utter a “Wow!”. It’s not Friendster, MySpace or YouTube either - it’s Facebook.

Well, unless you have been held captive by the Mafia or have been living under a rock for the past few months, you should know that Facebook is the hottest social networking site on the internet right now. Millions of people have already started using it, and it is getting hotter each new day, even beating similar sites like Friendster or MySpace.

What started as a site restricted to students of Harvard College, is now a popular social networking website that allows people to communicate with their friends and exchange information. Besides doing that, you are also free to add applications to your Facebook profile.

Facebook has an interesting feature called “wall”, which basically is a space on a profile page that allows friends to post messages for the user to see, much like a comments/testimonials section on Friendster. The “wall” allows guests to post both textual content and attachments.

Also, Facebook allows you to give or recieve gifts. In other words, you can choose a gift and give it to any of your friends, and they can also do the same to you. These gifts you recieve will than be shown on your “gift box”.

Applications, a novelty feature that was mentioned breifly earlier, allows Facebook users to have fun and interact with your friends. Basically, it is just a framework for developers to create applications that interact with core Facebook features. Among these applications include Top Friends, which displays your favourite friends on your profile page, and games like scrabble and hangman. Interesting, isn’t it?

Well, if you still haven’t signed up with Facebook, you should really do so immediately. What you have heard about Facebook recently isn’t fake. Facebook is a really interesting place for you to interact with friends and family online, as well as have fun with them and exchange information. Isn’t this great? Just remember to add me as a friend!
