Why Facebook?

While using facebook I have noticed that it is constantly updating and changing. It seems that every month there is a new facebook style to get accustomed to. Also since they let just anybody join facebook it's lost that close knit community of just college students, that it was originally created for. It also lost it sense of security when it opened up to anyone. I chose Facebook because it is an interesting communication tool. It is one of the most popular sites and has many fun applications. So I chose this website to help educate people on such an expansive and popular tool. The goals I set were to inform and educate people on a new way of receiving information. I believe I have accomplished these goals pretty well. The last post ties in with a lot of the posts prior because after talking about many different types of fitness, the previous post helps people find a way of getting in touch with new and exciting fitness and health ideas.

Facebook as a Communication tool

Facebook is an online site where people from all over the world get together to make friends, send out invitations, say hello to someone long distance, and post pictures. When you get on facebook it may seem overwhelming at first but it's really easy. If you are looking for an organization like a fraternity or sorority, or if you are looking for more information on bands and their tours then you can look on facebook. Also you can look for information on Health and Fitness. People from the ODU gym can send out invitations to fitness classes, or classes on rock climbing. I have gotten invites from some fraternities and other friends to go and play dodgeball at the gym. Facebook is a great tool to utilize to get the word out about special fitness events around campus. Also Golds Gym has a Facebook page and send out special events they are doing and fitness classs, specials on packages at the gym. You can also communicate with friends about healthy foods and interesting recipes. Another application on facebook is groups. You can create and join any group you want. There are groups on fitness and health, so you can join them and hear about updates and events.
