Facebook : user's guide

Since its creation of military vocation, the networking website was subject to lots many changes. The website's trend 2.0 and its social networking are the last to come. Facebook belongs to its "social networking" and it's intended to assembly close friends or strangers...

After logging in, Facebook allows you to connect and interact with your colleagues, friends, schoolmates, family, seductions or real strangers...

Real friends gathered virtually

In order to ease your task, Facebook's conceivers have imagined some powerful tools. A net search engine allows you to find those that you have lost of sight only by using e-mails, school's name, company's name or first name and last name. Your real friends grouped virtually (did you follow me?) are put in your friends list... Then you can consult the list of friends of your friends and make some new friends (do you still follow me?). In order to simplify your task, the users are grouped in networks.

Exhibitionists and voyeurs

The exhibitionists and the voyeurs have the photo galleries at their disposal. A "mini-feed" displays the last events of your virtual friendships: thus you don?t miss anything of what's happening on Facebook. A "wall" allows you as well to leave short messages and to answer it...

Besides these more or less useful applications, the user could dedicate lots of time in order to test his knowledge, compare the value scale with his list of friends, try to identify himself to a city or a star and even offer virtual gifts. It's really crazy the number of virtual iPhones that I have already received! In real life, it's always the ringtone of my old Nokia 3210 which wakes me up from my drowsiness...

All this reminds me terribly of my friends book during the elementary school on the cover of which Jean-Marie Pfaff had pride of place. Frédéric Solvel
