Web 2.0 definition

A site where you can edit the stuff on it under the supervision of the creator of the site.

Facebook detailed review

Facebook is a social networking site that lets you join and view friends profiles and customize your profile. The sign up for this site is easy but setting up your profile after can be long because you have to fill in categories like about me, favorite music, favorite movies, favorite books, favorite TV shows, Intrests, and any contact info you want to put in there (email, cell phone number etc.) But this is all worth the time so that friends can read about you. Next is your profile picture. It is very easy to upload a profile picture on there and you can even do things like crop the photo so that your the main attention of the photo. This site can be very helpful on catching up with old friends that you haven't seen in a while especially when you use the chat options to talk to people online (kind of like MSN) and the message sender for when the person you wanna talk to isn't online. Or if you want to you can even write on their wall for everybody to see. When somebody changes their profile the change will appear on the mini-feed where people can see peoples status updates and profile updates. Status updates allow you to say what your doing or what your thinking so that everybody can see. Profile updates can be anything from a profile picture change to an update in their favorite books. Under all the news of these changes you can either comment or like, when you comment you can say whatever you want under the subject and when you 'like' it says your name and that you like this subject and puts a little thumbs up beside it. Next you can start joining groups. There are tons of different groups you can join and they all vary in some way. Some can be a dirtbiking fanclub and another can be about breaking a record and some even donate to charitys for all the members they have. The thing that can be the best thing or the worst thing of facebook is the tagging option. The tagging option allows people to see a photo of you and tag you in it and it will show up in the photos of me category on your profile, I like this option but I also don't get embarassed that easy. Overall this site is very good. I like what you can do in it and I like how you can see what everybody is doing even though you aren't talking to them. I am addicted to Facebook and can hardly go a day with out going on it.
