Facebook! Facebook!! Facebook!!! It is one social networking site launched on February 4, 2004 with more than 500 million active users in July 2010. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook while he was a student at Harvard University. Initially, only Harvard students were allowed to use this site. But it was later expanded to other university students in the USA and then to other parts of the world.
We have several other networking sites like Twitter, You tube, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, etc, but Facebook has gained so much popularity over the others, especially among Nigerians.
Facebook has been blocked intermittently in some countries like Syria, Iran, China, Pakistan and North Korea. Someone also told me it is prohibited in Vietnam,. I don’t know the reasons behind the blocking but I guess it has more to do with religion and productivity.
No doubt, facebook, just like every other social media is a wonderful networking site. So many good things happen on facebook. Lives have been positively affected through facebook. 2011 is here and it is one year that will decide the fate of Nigeria as we shall all march out to decide who rules the nation from May 2011.
