The world's largest social facebook network in terms of number of inhabitants it is second only to China and India. Isn’t this fact enough to seriously think - how were all these hundreds of millions of people so interesting and useful?
Facebook has the largest number of users in the following countries and regions:
- North America.
- Western Europe.
- Turkey.
- India.
- Australia and New Zealand.
In the Russian-language Internet, domestic VKontakte and Odnoklassniki are much more popular. And from the American media services, the notorious Internet resident LiveJournal.
Facebook social network review
The social network Facebook is somewhat alien to our people and has a complicated interface. However, this complexity is apparent. The service is organized in such a way that at every step the user receives comprehensive, detailed hints and recommendations. Therefore, getting lost in the “misunderstandings” on Facebook is very difficult.
The relatively low popularity of Facebook on Runet can be explained by the fundamentally different mentality of the North American user. Too much officialdom, too much system involvement in communication. The computer is constantly trying to advise, offers options. Here, a person is not so much looking for an object of interest, but choosing from the options proposed by the program.
As soon as the user has registered and wrote his last name and first name in the appropriate forms, Facebook immediately offers to get acquainted with namesakes around the world. Or it is supposed to become a fan of the Seattle football team. Where is this Seattle, damn it?
In all this overly intrusive service, the machinations of world imperialism and the conspiracy theory are seen. However, you quickly get used to the comfort of Facebook, and then it becomes clear that this is the most common social network and nothing else.
What to do on Facebook
The set of services is quite traditional:
- Search for friends, acquaintances, colleagues, colleagues and relatives. Well, that won’t surprise us.
- Games and various entertaining applications. All this is in our social networks.
- Wall or news feed where you can see everything last messages. Publish your friends in descending order. Nothing new either.
- Ability to upload photos, videos and audio clips. Classmates, VKontakte, mail, etc. all have this for a long time.
- Communication without borders - perhaps here Facebook is ahead of the rest. Interested in meeting Mumbo-Yumbo Ellochka the ogre? No problem. Only Antarctic penguins do not speak English today. translate.google.com in which case you can help.
Why do you need Facebook
Who created the site of this social network? Americans? What are these gentlemen famous for? That's right, its practicality. As M. Zadornov writes, Americans only speak. It would be strange if the American to the marrow social system was not sharpened for business, advertising and commerce.
In the same way, any individual can promote himself as a brand. Make yourself cool and famous through Facebook. If you look at personal profiles, many are busy with this.
About which I wrote in sufficient detail, to leave aside the Facebook service, which can not only provide pleasant and very often useful communication between people, but also have a significant impact on the SMO promotion of your site, be it a commercial or information resource.
Facebook is an international social network that was launched in 2004. Founder of Facebook - the famous graduate of Harvard University Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg). At the moment, it is the largest and most popular social network in the world. The audience of this network surpasses the billionth mark and the number of active users continues to grow, including thanks to users of the Runet.
So it’s time to describe in detail the registration mechanism, user profile settings and the main features of this social network, which are very extensive and varied. Material by volume cannot be small by definition, so you have to be patient for those who want to study everything thoroughly in order to perform all the necessary actions on a fully automatic machine in the future.
How to register on Facebook, log in and confirm e-mail
Once again I want to draw the attention of webmasters (since our main task is to promote our projects) to the opportunities that the social network Facebook offers in terms of attracting regular visitors to your site. Of course, getting full-scale traffic with free methods will not work right away, because it requires certain financial investments and is only possible for serious commercial projects or Internet entrepreneurs who have reached heights.
However, anyway, getting at least a fraction of this fatty piece is quite realistic. At the very least, by publishing on your Facebook page announcements of the best articles on a site or blog, you can get, albeit at first, a small, but quite tangible stream of targeted visitors. In addition, if the proposed material is very high quality and informative, you can still get a portion of “Like” marks (likes) from grateful readers.
So, you can register on Facebook at home page (by the address www.facebook.com), where right at the very bottom you can switch to the Russian language of the interface, which is indicated in the basic line, if for some unknown reason it was not connected automatically. If you want to switch to some other language, not one of the main ones, you can click on the ellipsis, as a result of which you will get a list of all possible languages, from this table, however, you can choose Russian:
So, registration on Facebook begins with filling out a simple registration form, in which you need to enter standard data:
I note that the password needs to be thought up more complicated. For generating and convenient storage of random and complex passwords, I advise you to use the KeePass program (you can read more about the Kipas password generator and manager, which proves its reliability for a rather long period of time. After filling out the form, click the large "Register" button on Facebook on the main page :
In the first step, the wizard will prompt you to immediately transfer contacts to Facebook servers from your email accounts to facilitate the search for friends and create recommendations, but for this you need to provide access to the mailboxes email. Honestly, I am not too positive about providing such confidential information. Here you need to clearly understand what data can be provided so that it works for your benefit and which is not worth it.
Despite the fact that there is absolutely no reason not to trust Facebook, for example, I did not enter passwords from my mailboxesbut everyone here decides for himself. Safety, whatever one may say, is always in the first place, otherwise everything loses its meaning. Therefore, if you have not yet decided what to do, it is entirely possible to skip the first step, especially since this is allowed to be done.
In addition, all the necessary data can be entered later, already in the Facebook profile settings. In the same way, it is possible to ignore the second and third steps, where it is proposed to enter the name of the school you graduated from, the university you studied in, and also upload a photo for account. As I have already noted, it is not forbidden to do this at any time after you decide that people who you intend to communicate with should know about you.
After all these perfect actions, the Facebook account is almost created and you immediately get into it. It remains only to confirm your email address, this will be a reminder on a yellow background at the very top:
To do this, go to your mail and click on the special link in the letter that came from Facebook:
After confirming the e-mail, you can assume that the account officially exists and you can from now on use all the provided tools to the maximum without any restriction. However, I must immediately warn that one of the basic rules of Facebook is that the user does not have the right to have more than one personal profile, which is one of the means to achieve "cleanliness" of the system and increase its security.
Keep this in mind, as violation of this rule may lead to the removal of your main Facebook account, including. You can enter your profile from any web page where there is an authorization form, for example, from facebook.com:
I’ll also draw your attention to the fact that you can use both the email address specified during registration and the mobile phone number as a Facebook login (login), if you decide to strengthen security measures and go through the process of confirming your phone. This can be done in your account settings.
Facebook news feed and communication algorithm
As soon as you register on Facebook and confirm your email address (it’s best not to delay this action), you can immediately go to the basic settings of your account. So that you do not get confused at the beginning of the journey, a guide will be presented at your service that will conduct an initial excursion and tell you what basic information you can make so that your profile is memorable for communication with future or real friends.
Immediately after the registration process is completed, you will already be on your page, where you will see a green button with the inscription "Start tour":
This will activate the program guide, with which you can customize your page at the initial stage. Naturally, in the future, as necessary, all settings can be changed at any time. We'll talk more about the actions in the section and the tabs “Chronicle”, “Information”, “Photos”, “Friends” in the next article. By the way, after entering your account, you find yourself on the main page in the "News Feed" tab, where messages from other users are located:
Here you can add your own entry by typing in the "What are you thinking?" Field. You can add a photo or video to this message, mention people you know, upload an image from a computer, tell about your location and tell what you are doing at all or at the moment (what you read, listen to, see where you are traveling, etc. d.). Also use the privacy setting, indicating for whom this record will be intended (for everyone, for friends, etc.).
In addition, you can perform some actions that allow you to somehow mark the posts of other users in the news feed:
Click on “Like” from Facebook (like in English) if you like some published text, photo, image or video. A little lower is a picture with a raised thumb, which means like. It also contains information on how many people have already liked this publication with likes. Them full list can be obtained by clicking on the link with the number of users. You might want to start a conversation with one of them or subscribe to materials.
If you click on the “Comment” link, you will be able to comment on the message by entering the text in the comments field that opens after this. You can also attach a photo here by clicking on the camera icon located on the right and downloading it from your computer.
This is the main mechanism of multilateral communication on Facebook, but it is far from the only one, gradually I will try to reveal all the nuances in this and subsequent articles.
In its appearance, Facebook is very reminiscent of all of us the familiar “in contact”. In addition to sending text messages on Facebook, it is possible to send friends photos, follow the latest news, connect to their discussion, find interesting groups, listen to music, play games and much more.
Facebook saw the light back in 2004 and over the years it has been able to find new friends by a number of parameters: by e-mail, ICQ or qip number, Skype login, through importing from another social network.
Registration on Facebook does not require a fee; it is available to any user who has Internet access. Thanks to this, now the Facebook network unites a little more than a billion people from around the world.
