TGIF: What is Facebook?
by Nicole Landguth
Category: Digital Influence, Facebook
This weekend marks the beginning of summer but where I grew up (California) the school year didn’t end until mid-June so this week’s Facebook Friday looks a bit like a homework assignment. Facebook has evolved rapidly over the past six years of existence and so has it’s significance in everything from communications to government to people’s relationships. I’ve started a list of phrases to answer the question “What is Facebook?” and would like your help adding to it in the comments.
Facebook is…
- A place friends and family are connecting and sharing
- Strangers building new communities around shared passions
- A marketplace and a playground for exchanging goods and games
- People are talking to brands and about brands
- A resource for new information and content
- The portal to an online identity and social life
Have a great weekend!
