Hi,
Think of it as an "online gathering place" where friends and
others communicate with each other. Each Facebook user has a
profile; a friend searches the user with his or her name or some
other contact information. Once the friend finds it, he or she
can add the friend on Facebook. The site also allows sharing of
photos, videos and notes (and others) among friends - this is
called "social network."
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. And is accessible with JAWS.

Subject: What is Facebook?
Dear Friends,
Of course I have heard a lot about
Facebook
But to be honest, I am not sure what it is exactly.
Is it like personal Web sites or such?
And are they connectible, I mean, you pick a group of people
you wish to share yours with and vise versa?
is that the big thing?
I just do not see what the appeal in them is!
But I suppose people could say that about my Chess Group for
the Blind!
LOL!
With Best Regards,
Alan

Okay, okay. I admit it. I was duped. I apologize for posting
that bogus report. But to be perfectly blunt, some people don't
seem to have a life beyond Facebook. Their whole world revolves
around it. Anyone who can't get through the day without
Facebook has a serious problem and probably needs help. Once
again, I'm sorry for creating such a ruckus.

Don't think Zuckerberg even bothers responding to shit like
this. Anyway a thing like this would be news of the year and you
won't be able to watch a minut of tv with out hearing about it,
something as big won't be left to flowt around via email

Based on the number of Facebook questions posted on this
list, any major change to Facebook would certainly be relevant.
Again, if the report is false, so be it. In any case, I haven't
seen any denials from Zuckerberg, so who knows what's really
going on?

No, you don't report. You clutter and spread
misinformation that you don't bother to verify. This is absurd
and a waste of time on every level.
Even more importantly, what's this got to do with Jaws?

I report, you decide. That's all I can say. Maybe it's
true. Maybe it's not. We shall see.

This has to be a fraud. First, the site is owned by a
corporation and Zuckerberg, as an individual, doesn't have that
authority. Second, it is unimaginable that a company with a
market cap of $65 Billion would suddenly go poof because of the
personality quirks of its CEO. What about those investors? Many
of them are pension funds.
The next thing we'll hear is that the Easter Bunny is
boycotting chocolate eggs.

I think you have been had. If there had been a real
press release like this, it would have been all over the news.

At first I thought this was some kind of practical
joke, but it sure sounds real. Read it and weep:
PALO ALTO, CA -Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook
will be shut
down in March.
Managing the site has become too stressful.
"Facebook has gotten out of control," said Zuckerberg
in a press
conference outside
his Palo Alto office, "and the stress of managing this
company has
ruined my life.
I need to put an end to all the madness."
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th,
users will no
longer be able
to access their Facebook accounts.
"After March 15th the whole website shuts down," said
Avrat Humarthi,
Vice President
of Technical Affairs at Facebook. "So if you ever want
to see your
pictures again,
I recommend you take them off the internet. You won't
be able to get
them back once
Facebook goes out of business."
Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook
was difficult,
but that he
does not think people will be upset.
"I personally don't think it's a big deal," he said in
a private phone
interview.
"And to be honest, I think it's for the better.
Without Facebook,
people will have
to go outside and make real friends. That's always a
good thing."
Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the
shocking news.
"What am I going to do without Facebook?" said Denise
Bradshaw, a high
school student
from Indiana. "My life revolves around it. I'm on
Facebook at least 10
hours a day.
Now what am I going to do with all that free time?"
However, parents across the country have been
experiencing a long
anticipated sense
of relief.
"I'm glad the Facebook nightmare is over," said Jon
Guttari, a single
parent from
Detroit. "Now my teenager's face won't be glued to a
computer screen
all day. Maybe
I can even have a conversation with her."
Those in the financial circuit are criticizing
Zuckerberg for walking
away from a
multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently
ranked as one of
the wealthiest
businesses in the world, with economists estimating its
value at
around 7.9 billion.
But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations.
He says he will
stand by his
decision to give Facebook the axe.
"I don't care about the money," said Zuckerberg. "I
just want my old
life back."
The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all
of their
personal information
from the website before March 15th. After that date,
all photos,
notes, links, and
videos will be permanently erased.
