Social Networking Overview and Applications

Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you. Signing up for an account is free. Members can upload photos or publish notes, get the latest news from friends, post videos on their profile, tag their friends, use privacy settings to control who sees their information, and join a network to see people who live, study, or work around them.
