FACEBOOK PHONE NUMBER 800-986-6752
Facebook has more than 750 million active users who, on average, share more than 30 billion pieces of content per month. What does that mean? It means it's a great way to figure out what your middle school ex is doing now or hear about the exploits of your college friends' kids. Because your friends post news and other tidbits they find around the Web, Facebook is also a great filter for the approximately 500 billion gigabytes of information floating around the Internet.
In short, Facebook is fun -- and useful -- because so many people and so much information are there. And in a few short steps, you can be, too. Your first step, of course, will be creating your profile. After that, you can start searching around for your friends. Once you're set up, you can start updating your status regularly, posting on friends' wall, sharing information, and uploading and viewing photos and videos.
The only thing you'll need in addition to a birthday, a name and a gender is an e-mail address. First, go to www.facebook.com and look on the right side of your screen under the heading "sign up." Fill in the information and click the green "sign up" button.
After typing words to show you're human (as directed), Facebook will ask if you'd like to find your friends. It's a good idea to do this now, but don't worry -- you can always come back to this step later. Follow the prompts to allow Facebook to scour your e-mail service for people you've e-mailed who are also on Facebook. Click the boxes next to the ones you'd like to add. (Here's a philosophical point: Now's a good time to decide if you're going to "friend" people from work.)
