My Observation of Facebook (96540322 Jasmine)

It is amazing that Facebook becomes so popular in Taiwan and all over the world in such a short time. I knew this new website, Facebook, from newspaper in this summer vacation; in order to figure out why so many stars using it, I joined Facebook. I have been using Facebook for four months, and I found out that using Facebook does connect people with friends and even strangers in an easier way.
First, you can add people to your friends list easily and quickly because Facebbok will provide you with a list of your possible acquaintance and all you have to do is click a button. It can save a lot of your time. What’s more; it is easy for everyone to make new friends on Facebook. Your new friends on Facebook could be all age and occupations and from all over the world. Take me for example, I do have some friends from other countries and I am so excited whenever we chat with each other in English. I learned some new words and expressions from our chatting, such as “lol”, which means lots of laugh. Also, I have some friends from other occupations such as lawyer and office ladies, and sometimes our talk makes me think differently and deeply toward some issue.
Second, there are many functions on Facebook; you can play games, take online psychology tests, chat with people, upload photos and write blog. Once you use one of these functions, Facebook will post the information on your wall and all your friends can see it. I found out that it makes people easier to have new talking topics. Moreover, everyone can leave a message on the post even you are actually a stranger, and it could be a start of being familiar with that person. For example, a person left a message on my post two months ago, so we started to chat with each other. Until now, I still consider this as an amazing experience. It really surprised me that he graduated from NTUT, and he is also from Changhua County. Besides, our homes in Changhua are actually near each other. Now we are friends who share things. Because we have something in common, I always feel friendly to chat with him.
Third, you can search your old friends such as elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates or friends you lost contact with. For example, I typed some names and in the end I did get contact with several my elementary school classmates. It makes me excited. Shorting speaking, I think that joining Facebook does make people contact with each other easier.
