    Facebook is strictly for business for me. I've just begun toying with facebook ads and it is a goldmine that has been heavily mined (I am very late to the game). I used to only attempt to reach customers organically via facebook messages or outreach, but that is very hard to do these days. You need to pay to play on Today's Facebook.

    That's why Zuckerberg is so rich now!

    I agree with you in this issue. The future of Facebook, as I see it, is, that the "thinking" part of the world, the academic part, will eventually leave Facebook. Because the lack of quality, the lack of control of content. Facebook will remain, absolutely! But the gigantic data centres will eventually have a larger portion of no useful data. Data from either stupid people or fake accounts or a combination!

    For me it's a mix. Facebook is a great way to get quality traffic to your blogs and sites. I also use Facebook to interact and keep up with friends and family.

    You know how when you have a family function or a get together and everyone is sitting in a room talking. Well, Facebook is the online version of that in my world. It's also really good for getting traffic to certain websites I have such as Funny videos, pictures, weird and interesting ideas, etc.

    I think people have a strong need for connection, and Facebook is one vehicle that can give a sense of being in touch and staying in touch with people, news and trends. Of course, FB had to put a commercial vehicle behind it and thus the adverts, and so far, people have put up with that aspect as the balance has not tipped too far yet to spark a mass exodus from the platform.

    It is either for personal use or business use, though it can be both too since people are given an option to establish a page (for business purposes) that associated with the personal account.

    Like most Facebook members I use it not just for connecting with family and friends or keeping up with what’s happening to their lives but also to reach my target market. I use Facebook as a tool to market my business and send message to my customers. It’s also a great tool to find potential clients and reconnect with your old ones.

    One research shows the result, that many users within the United States spend more time on Facebook than any other social networking websites.
    Facebook is a good medium for stay connected with our friends. I use my Facebook account for making good friends and sharing posts related to my products.

    I mostly use Facebook for chatting with my friends. And I like this way to communicate with others.

    I use facebook to communicate and to market because of its popularity. It also offers many other things and connects to other social medias. I also like there fan pages and the way they put icons and symbols of communication or emotions for us users to express.

    Facebook can be best used for creating followers for the business with whom you can interact with in a friendly manner.

    Yeah.. Facebook is used also for promoting our business. Actually, Facebook mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.

    Facebook allows business, organizations and public figures to connect with customers, fans and constituents through the website. Business and other brands create pages where they can post content, provide organizational news, offer deals, introduce products and manage customer service relationships.

    I hope you got to know about purpose..

    I use facebook for getting new business but also to make connections with other like minded people with common interests. Yes facebook is great for building your connections whether that is for business, social, events, friends etc but also for sharing life changing information that can help others not just for entertainment purposes.
