My Facebook Experience (96540343 Carol Lin)

Come to play the Farmville and Happy Farm! Come to open a restaurant! It’s those worlds that draw me into the hottest “Facebook” world. Unconsciously, started from the games, I have already used it for several months.

At first, I am quite unfamiliar with the format of the website. Many games are English version. It’s a much wider opened space than any other blog that I used to use. Since it’s used worldwide, we can make friends with other countries; we can find the long-lost friends; we can keep our friendships with the new and old friends. A theory called “Six Degrees of Separation” tells that if wanting to transfer one unknown package to a stranger, then it can easily achieved by six people. In the other worlds, you can meet a stranger through six friends. I think Facebook can prove this theory becauce the “searching friend tool” of Facebook makes people’s relationship much closer in the world.

Facebook not only has the function on building the relationship, but also an important platform for users to express their emotions or share some interesting ideas and useful information. User can put their photos or write something happened in their life, and then we can communicate and discuss about them. Besides, there are some interesting quizzes and psychological tests, which become the topics among friends. Due to those special design functions on the Facebook, everyone is the main character on their website; here, people can record their life and get to know more about themselves and others.

It has been a while since Facebook become popular. It seems Facebook never lose its hot; in addition, more people get into the field. As my observation, I find out the Facebook company update on their games frequently. By doing so, users feel fresh and won’t get rid of the habits in opening the game of farm and restaurant. Moreover, the sweat reminder of friends’ birthday and cute gifts are Facebook’s attractions. With those interaction designs, there’s no wonder Facebook stand as the most popular websites among the Internet World.
