Facebook Connection


Facebook is no doubt the most popular social media today. With some 45 million users and still counting, FB as what many people call it continues to attract more web savvy folks from around the world.

I'm one of those who have been captivated by the power of Facebook in terms of connecting people who share similar interests as well as friends and relatives. Since I created my account on this social media last year, I have already connected with old friends from way back in my elementary, high school and college days and have made new friends, too. This has given me so much joy that I always make it a point now to check in every day just to find out what friends and relatives are up to.

There are so many ways to connect on Facebook. One can send a private message, post thoughts or share links, photos and videos on the main What's on Your Mind? box, comment on photos and updates and send a Friend Request to people you know that you want to include in your friends list.

It indeed feels great to see old faces you know after a long time. Some have gained weight, looked more mature now while the others still look pretty much the same as in the past. The only difference is the age we have now but that's not a major issue.

What's even a joy to find out on Facebook are the families we have established and the kids we have bore. Despite the challenges we may have gone through in our careers and family life, it's wonderful to see happy family photos posted on our FB profiles and albums which our dear friends can access to at their own convenience.

This is just the personal side of it because the truth is, Facebook now also caters to business minded people. People who are into any type of business can very well take advantage of this famous social media to promote their products and services and get more clients.

So whether you want to connect or promote your business, Facebook is the way to go today. Better tell your other friends with no account yet to join in and have fun connecting.
