    Ive just tried FaceBook and it looked very basic to me. If you are familiar with [it] , what are the features that make it so popular?

    Cheers

    It's popular on campuses around the US, which is where it originated.

    And thus, it became popular with businesses. And thus, the media picked up on it. And thus again, it's a purchase target.

    Once that little ball called momentum gets rolling, there's no stopping it.

    I like it because it is basic and feels more professional over MySpace. I know others that would agree. It's simplicity is nice.

    You can control who sees what - set privacy levels. And not get spammed.

    I don't have a clue too.
    People just want to waste their time online so they need MySpace, FaceBook, etc.

    It works cuz people like socializing nowadays online ... And sites like FaceBook targeted specific areas like students and work professionals and restricted membership ... So thats what made it popular ... And now its open for everyone ... It has been valued in billions of dollars by Yahoo! and has a yearly revenue of $100 million ...

    Its workin cuz people like it, they're used to it and it beat a site like friendster.

    The main issue is dating an dthe opportunities to show it as a normal socialising site unlike twitter or myspace, one important feature is everyone is supposed to use his real name and surnames though some do not apply to this...

    Facebook is an excellent tool to promote your site if you are internet marketer.
