Once a friend of mine asked me whether I had ever been on the social networking website known as facebook.com.
However, back in the day I didn’t have the slightest inkling of what Facebook was. And, frankly speaking, I didn’t want to sign up.
But my tech-savvy friend bombarded me with links so that, in the end, I even started feeling an overwhelming desire to do so.
It was not until I started using Facebook that I realised how much I had been missing out on my life as it offered a flurry of benefits to enjoy.
I have to say that now I visit it whenever I have a spare moment. In fact, many times in a day.
Initially, it was set up solely as a social network just to help people get hold of friends but it gradually became an epicentre of all kinds of human activity, be it in the sphere of business, education or entertainment.
For one thing, were it not for this website, I would still have to arrange face-to-face meetings to stay up to speed with what my friends are doing.
Now all the updates are posted to their feed; therefore both tracking down old friends and renewing long-forgotten friendships do not seem as challenging a task as it used to be due to the fact that some of them may not have phones, but all of them do have internet-enabled devices and their online status indicator icons never stop blinking even in the depth of night.
More importantly, an opportunity to increase my business’s efficiency and expand clientele absolutely free of charge is what I consider by far the greatest benefit of using this website.
The information about my company’s services can be disseminated in the blink of an eye, just at a click of a button. And target audience is global.
Besides, I can do social good every day. When I cannot donate to those who are in need on the score of pecuniary problems, I can do my bit, making numerous reposts.
