“Not everyone who is on Facebook actually attends the
[college]….you just need an [.edu] account, or you could use
a friend’s, or w/ some computer skills, bypass it completely.
There might be some people out there that you don’t want
seeing your pictures or whatever else you put in your profile.
Even students attend the [college] could still be creepy
stalker types. Parents, employers, stalkers, [college] personal
could all have access to Facebook if they wanted to….”
“I would have liked to known that you
can change who sees your profile. For
example, you can make it so alumni,
faculty, and staff can’t see your profile.
Although this doesn’t prohibit them
from being sneaky and using a
trusting student’s profile. You can also
make it so only your friends can see
your profile.”
“I wish I knew
how addictive it
could be to
spend hours just
looking through
it. Other then
that, nothing
much else that
currently exists
would not have
prevented me
from starting an
account. It’s
those quick little
peaks that turn
into an hour or
more of wasted
time that hurts
productivity.”

What is
Facebook?
•
February 2004 Mark Zuckerberg created this online network as a spinoff of Harvard’s Face Book. The Harvard Face Book is a photographic book
that is given to all incoming students of faculty and staff on Harvard’s
campus.
• Students attending Harvard quickly created accounts and by November
2004 over one million students had registered with the site.
• As of December 2005,
Why is Facebook
Useful?
• it has the largest number of registered users among collegefocused sites (at over six million US college student accounts
created).
Why does Diversity
Need to know about
Facebook?
• the network had expanded to include 2,000+ college and 25,000+
high school institutions across the United States, Canada, Mexico,
the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, including more than 11
million users worldwide.

• “On September 2, 2005 deeming it the ‘next logical thing’ to do,
Zuckerberg launched a high school version of Facebook, which is kept
totally separate from the college version. Although high school students
could only join via an invitation for the first weeks, by September 17, an
invitation was no longer necessary for most schools. So far, high school
Facebook has failed to achieve the same popularity as the college version”

Profile: Information provide by the user that can include but is not limited to name,
gender, major, birthday, hometown and state, cell phone number, and mailing
address.
Friends: Allows students to search for ‘friends’ and have these people confirm this
request. Once confirmation takes place students will be placed under the other
student’s profile as a friend. Details of how these friends have met can also be
known by viewers.
Social Timeline: This feature uses the information provided through friend details
to construct a complete social timeline for the user.
Wall posting: Users can post messages to the ‘wall’ of others’ Facebook profiles. All
other viewers can see what has been written.
Poke: This feature simply sends the text, “You have been poked,” and provides an
option to poke back. It is often used simply to gain the attention of the person that
is poked.
My Photos: Users can upload apparently unlimited numbers of photos to their
Facebook accounts and sort them in named albums. Users can “tag” or list who is in
each photo with tags, tying photos to account holders or applying other tags of their
choosing. This allows one to view all the pictures on Facebook of a particular person,
regardless of who uploaded them. Tagged users also have the option of “untagging”
themselves from photos.
The Pulse: This page provides statistics and trends, updated daily, regarding
members of the website. The page displays Top Ten lists for various sections of the
profile (e.g. movies, music, television, books, hometowns, etc.) for both the user’s
school and other institutions or the Facebook community in general. This site also
provides current trends: the fastest raising and falling items on the lists.
Facebook & How it Works
• Users must have an “.edu” email to register for the site.
• Users will then give their name (first and last), institution status (i.e. undergrad, grad,
alumni, faculty, or staff), institution email, and create a password.
