Facebook is the forum for young people in this country. The internet is by far more influential in the lives of the educated young than television. Barack Obama has nearly 5 times as many supporters as Hillary Clinton on Facebook. Furthermore, he is getting over 20 new supporters per minute. Mrs. Clinton is getting almost 5 new supporters per minute.

A notable ancillary effect of social networking websites, particularly Facebook, is the ability for participants to mourn publicly for a deceased individual. On Facebook, students often leave messages of sadness, grief, or hope on the individual's page, transforming it into a sort of public book of condolences. This particular phenomenon has been documented at a number of schools.[77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86] Previously, Facebook had stated that its official policy on the matter was to remove the profile of the deceased one month after he or she has died,[87] preventing the profile from being used for communal mourning, citing privacy concerns. Due to user response, Facebook amended its policy. Its new policy is to place deceased members' profiles in a "memorialization state".[88]

Facebook has excellent privacy settings and knows that a privacy is the killer feature of the application. Compare the granularity of the facebook privacy settings to MySpace or Orkut. Orkut for example is a horrible offender in terms of private detail visibility. Also the details available through search engine would anyway appear to any digital stalker who would find it easy enough to create an account. As things stand today, putting a photo on Facebook is a little more safer than putting it in flickr ..

Just like every other social network, Facebook has something called ‘groups.’ Users can create new ones or join and participate in existing ones. This is ... displayed in their profile and is a good indication of hobbies and interests a person might have.

Facebook is so stupid. The reality, is much, much more evil. An investigation by the CIA with their special agent Oscar Wilde has revealed that Facebook is actually a cult of the Undead, plotting to overthrow the Earth. As more people are born with faces, James Bond steals them and increases its power. The Bible's 6th book of the Old Testament, the book of Luke Skywalker, prophesies that one day, a baby will be born without a face, born to save the human race. However, some skeptics have suggested that the Bible only says this because it rhymes.

Facebook users are given one free gift to give upon account signup. Each additional gift given by a user costs US$1.00. The initial selection of gifts was Valentine's Day themed, and 50% of the net proceeds (after credit card processing fees were taken out, etc.) received through February 2007 were donated to the charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure. After the month of February, the proceeds were no longer donated. Soon after, Facebook began making one new gift available each day, most of which had a limited supply or were available for a limited time.
