face book

A face book is traditionally a book with pictures of faces, usually of students, meant to help new students familiarize themselves with a large number of people quickly. Traditional face books have largely been supplanted by Facebook.com.

Facebook is a very popular social networking website. Membership was originally limited to students of Harvard University, where founder Mark Zuckerberg was attending, but expanded in phases to include anyone older than 12, and is now the most popular social networking site in the world.

Facebook is free for users, and operates on investment capital and advertising revenue. In November, 2007, Facebook launched a program called Facebook Beacon which was poorly received, and in December, 2007, they apologized and changed the way Beacon operated.

In 2008, Facebook slowly shifted users to a new design, causing some unrest, but many were happy with the changes.

Facebook has so many users, and is so heavily used by many users, that any changes at all generate many responses in the Blogosphere and even major media sources, both positive and negative.

  With the economy in such bad shape, it’s only natural to turn to money saving sources.  For me – at least with some items – the dollar store becomes a desert oasis. Now I have my weekly list of items.  Let’s see now.  Dental floss, paper cups, matches, razor blades, paper napkins, etc.  These are things I ...
