Facebook is a social networking service and website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] As of January 2011, Facebook has more than 600 million active users.[5][6] Users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics. The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other better. Facebook allows anyone who declares themselves to be at least 13 years old to become a registered user of the website. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[7]The Offline Social Networkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeP7AFwqHcQ&sns=fb Quote problem for Mark S Zuckerberg, a lawyer from USA, who had months of problems in maintaining his account – account now reinstated.

social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks.Who owns Facebook? = Facebook Inc. Mark Zuckerberg (600 million users since 2004)Who owns YouTube? = Google (purchased in 2006 for $1.65 billion from its original owners two PayPal employees)Who owns Twitter? = Twitter Inc. Jack Dorsey (200 million users since 2006)How I use them:Facebook is a great promotional tool for my educational pursuits (currently manage 4 groups: AWT, Reflect&Connect, AustraliaSeries, EpCoP) Right now growing some of these as mini communities of practice to keep folks connected. E.g. AWT and R&CYouTube is a great source of instructional videos and a repository for educational videos that I wish to distribute to learnersTwitter is a great network of information, tips, events, reminders and connections with my followers/following (140 characters)
