Facebook is effectively an online database of people where people voluntarily upload all their personal information so that random people they have only met once, formally known as "friends", can track whatever they are doing for the rest of their lives.

This act of offering up personal information also equips Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, with near infinite power as he stores all the information, including conversations, permanently in order to make a huge profit through manipulation and as such can be compared to the famous fictional oligarch Big Brother from the book 1984, written by George Orwell.
Naive friend: Hey guess who has access to all my personal information that I protested vehemently against the police and government keeping yet am ok with doing it myself because I'm a conformist and Facebook is awesome?

Realist friend: Lord Zuckerberg and that random guy you met at a party once who turned out to be paedophile and mass murderer.

A social network website that evolved in February of 2004. Is a waste of peoples time to chat about nonsense, other websites hi5, myspace, twitter, tagged, badoo, etc. If used usefully can benefit several people and businesses from a financial/business perspective.

Oh, that is facebook. Its the same thing, just a different name, its like myspace.

Facebook is the new Bebo. Most of the people on Facebook are self absorbed attention seekers who like to post as many pictures of themselves as they possibly can. Facebook mainly consists of lyrical captions for duck face pictures and hormonal girls who feel the need to tell the world about their break up from a month long relationship. Some people often mistake Facebook for Twitter and include the hashtag after a dramatic speech of a status. Facebook is the home of drama. Log in to Facebook and you'll question the reason for some people's existence.

a MMORPG where players compete to collect the most "friends" by stalking other players, posting status updates and photos, and playing mini-MMORPGs like Farmville, Mafia Wars and (fluff)Friends.
"I spend two hours a day on facebook, and I have 1,600 friends (98% of whom I never speak to in RL). In other words, my e-peen is bigger than yours."
