I love facebook because I'ts the only way I know where to communicate my friends and I can locate other friend/people lot easier but the most special part of it is we can share special moments in life by sharing pictures. Facebook is easy to use generally everyone can create accounts.

Just an FYI, you forgot the "know" in this sentence: "we want to why you love Facebook" ...

Just thought you should know.

I can't say I LOVE Facebook, but I do enjoy using it to keep others updated about my life since I no longer live near most of them. It's a great tool for marketing, too. I have become addicted to it at times, although once I learned how to use my Windows Hosts file to block it on my work computer, that made life much easier :)

There is 500 million + people using Facebook. Whether you like it or not you can't ignore it. There are different ways to use Facebook of Course. People use it for different reasons. Companies also use Facebook in different ways for different objectives. There is no question that it is a way to connect with people globally and a way to build a business online.

Facebook has allowed my wife and myself to see our grandson first steps, first day at school and all the other first's a small person goes through because of Facebook.

My daughter created his profile on the day he was born and now all family members have access to all of his videos and photos online.

What an easy way to share and communicate.

Why I love face book? it's a place to connect with my friends and family, makes my day after hard day of work in my driving school I can come home and keep up to date on what they are up to

According to my view of things, and in the absence of any major change, Facebook is and will remain a fun social application that will continue to rage for a while, but nothing more. As soon as its owners try to make it a viable business, users will no longer use it to go elsewhere. Facebook joins MySpace, Twitter (already?), Second Life and a bunch of applications "Web 2.0" stuff in purgatory "has been".

The way out the most likely for Facebook would probably be the purchase by a major industry, paradoxically, it would probably also his death, greatly risking users to leave to join a new start-up sexy. A persistent rumor says that Microsoft has already made ​​eyes at Facebook for $ 6 billion, offering ridiculously high that the founder would furthermore refused.

Already, some voices are beginning to draw a start of the rebellion against the near-consensus that Facebook encountered so far. The reasons they evoke are rational, structured and joined me far more than the superlatives heard so far by supporters of Facebook.

Facebook allows different ways for communication. It is also good for business since every one has their account in facebook, it will be easier to market your products through ads in FB.

Facebook is actually the "face" of social media. Ask anyone to shout the first social media website that comes up to their mind, and I bet that it will be Facebook.
The main idea of Facebook is not new. Google had Orkut up and running strongly before Facebook become as powerful as it is now, however for some reason, Google let it die slowly. Orkut was way more famous than Facebook in countries like Brazil and India, but Facebook started becoming stronger and stronger, and Google didn't interfere on that. Why? Nobody knows.
Anyways, I told all of this just to say that I [currently] love Facebook because everybody is in there. When everybody start moving to somewhere else, I may move as well, because the website may be powerful, beautiful and influential, but if my family, friends, clients are not there, there is no reason to be there.

Cheers,

Rob

Facebook is a must... And the funny thing is that 'nobody' 'likes' articles and so on. But still it is a must as professional social public building tool for companies. And I also see that a lot of companies don't use Facebook in the right way...

So, just as a test... can you like my facebookpage as well? Even if it is in Dutch :-)

Facebook is needed these days. Whether you are an individual or a company, you must have it to connect with others.

[Peter]

I personally use facebook for connect with friends. Everyone in the world has facebook these days and when you travel and meet awesome people you want to keep them in your life so you simply connect with them on facebook then you can keep in touch and also see what their up too.... Even though that's a little stalkerish but everyone does it right? ;)
