Today we're going to talk on biggest social media network on the planet, you know, the one you've likely been using for years, the ones that your parents just recently discovered and the one that your weird Uncle xyz uses to send you late night requests for games of online poker and Farmville?

Yeah, that one. That's right, this is, all about Facebook.

So what is Facebook? 

That's likely a question that you may have never actually asked yourself. Facebook is a social networking site that was launched on February 4th, 2004 by none other than Mark Zuckerberg.

He did this along side four of his friends and roommates. Originally, it was used to connect students at Harvard University but it quickly expanded to other schools, that is,until 2006 when it was then open to anybody 13 years of age or older.

Today, Facebook is one of the top methods that is used by people to get in touch with over 150,000 messages sent via the site and its mobile app every single minute.

On top of that all, in every 15 minutes, there are 49 million posts on Facebook, 150,000 new friend requests, and 7.5 million new likes.

When is Facebook unsafe? 

Facebook sees over 5 billion users every single month with 79% of them accessing the site through their phones. Since the total number of users increases dramatically every day, it's impossible to declare an accurate number of how many profiles and pages that there actually are.

But, according to employees working at Facebook, there are only 3.74 degrees of separation on average between any two users. And with the network is that Facebook adding eight people every single second, that number is ever shrinking.

Shockingly, there are more Facebook users in the United States than US citizens who actually voted in the most recent election.

Wow. that is So, odds are, if you know someone, it's pretty much a certainty that they either have Facebook or someone close to them does. 

Where can Facebook be accessed? 

While its headquarters or major office is in Menlo Park, California, Facebook is available to almost anyone anywhere that has the Internet. The one major exception, of course is country China where the site as well as other major social networking sites like Twitter and even YouTube have been blocked by the government since July 2009. The Chinese government believes that being able to speak out helps the organization of protest. Despite this, there are over 95 million users in China, many of which who simply use VPN's to get around the block and 79% of the mare using their cell phones to access the website. Even though there are many amazing or interesting things that Facebook has done, sometimes some of the things it brings us can be awkward or even scary. That, of course, among some privacy concerns. For instance, while great strides have been made to ensure that every user's information remains private, Facebook keeps pretty close tabs on us. Going so far as tracking they know what sites that we visit, even after we log out of the site.

Also, over 600,000 hacking attempts are made every single day to accounts on Facebook, a staggering number. And the scariest fact of all is simply unfriending someone has actually caused people to get murdered. May you Believe it or not, several people have actually lost their lives over something so trivial.

Why is Facebook so useful? 

Despite the negative things or bad things that have occurred directly or indirectly because of Facebook, there are many, many positive things. Many of them beneficial to the entire world and some that are just plain fun.

For example, in the year 2013, Mark Zuckerberg donated 1 billion dollars to charity making him the largest charitable donor in the United States. On the other hand, if you want to have a little fun, change your language settings to "pirate," and enjoy all the fun that has to offer.

Yes, that's a thing you can actually do. In all seriousness, Facebook has connected and reconnected people all over the world and to most people the benefits far out weigh the negative issues that it brings into our lives.
