Social networking sites like Facebook have changed the way people socialize – allowing friends to share photos, messages, and gossip in one convenient online spot. Facebook was created in 2004 by a college student, for college students, with great success. Since then, Facebook has grown tremendously, with more than 80 million active users today. The concept of social networking is so popular, in fact, that it’s even turned the word “friend” into a verb (I “friend” you when I add you to my list of Facebook friends). With the introduction of third party applications within Facebook, users are also sending virtual beer, hugs, karma, and flowers to friends.
