Facebook : Java Glossary

A sort of communal electronic refrigerator where you can post notes, photos, lists of what you like, notes on what you have been doing etc. It has proved popular with university students for social interaction. It makes its money from ads. You can use it free. Facebook describes itself as a social utility that connects you with the people around you. Facebook is made up of many networks, each based around a workplace, region, high school or college. You can use Facebook to:

Share information with people you know.
See what’s going on with your friends.
Look up people around you.

Be careful what you write on your wall, especially about other people. It becomes public knowledge. Use your mail for personal information. Don’t bore your friends to death with trivial events, e.g. I am making dinnner, I am eating a banana…

It is unwise to accept a friend request from anyone you do not know.

Beware that anything you post on Facebook, Facebook owns. When you sign up, you hand over the right, for example, to use your photos and movies to sell hemmorhoid cream, in perpetuity, even after you close you account! They have the right to sell that all your photos, movies and text to anyone for any purpose. They have the right to feature you in a TV series called Biggest Assholes on the Net using material from you Facebook page to prove it.
