What’s a FB friend?

Facebook friends are users who know each other before or outside the site. They can see each other’s wall, photos, videos, and other information. Users can choose who they want as friends and have private chats, messages, and tagging. The news feed keeps friends updated on each other’s activities.

A Facebook friend is someone who is connected to another person through the social networking site of the same name. Usually, Facebook friends are site users who knew each other before joining the site or who know each other outside the site. They might be friends or acquaintances, they might know each other through school, work or another organization, or they might have mutual knowledge. To help protect the privacy of Facebook members, you must make a request through the site to become someone else’s Facebook friend. It is then up to him or her to accept or decline the Facebook friend request.

After someone becomes a Facebook friend with another person, the bond isn’t limited to connecting two people on a social networking site. After a friendship is formed on Facebook, friends are able to see what’s on each other’s wall, a list of posts on a user’s Facebook homepage. Facebook friends can also view any photos, videos, and other information that has been posted by or about that person. Even users who are not Facebook friends can typically view other users’ Facebook friend lists, which could help users distinguish between a person they know and another person with the same name.

The access a Facebook friend has to another person’s profile is why people can choose who they want as friends. Many people prefer not to allow everyone, including strangers, to view their Facebook page. However, some users have privacy settings that don’t prevent others from viewing their information.

Someone who is a Facebook friend can also have private chats with any of their friends who are logged into Facebook at the time. The chat function indicates which Facebook friends of the user are currently on the site and allows both users to initiate a chat session. Facebook friends can also “tag” each other in their photos and videos. “Tagging” someone means tagging the people who are in the photo or video. Facebook will notify tagged friends that they have the option to “unsubscribe” themselves if they don’t want to be identified.

Facebook friends can also message each other via the site’s private messaging system. Friends can easily contact each other by posting on each other’s wall, but private messaging is better for information they don’t want others to see. Users can send private messages to other users whether or not they are Facebook friends. These messages are sometimes questions about whether users know each other and can lead users to become Facebook friends.
Another feature that Facebook has to keep friends updated on what’s going on with each other is a news feed. When someone logs into Facebook, they will see this feed which lets them know what has been posted or is happening with their Facebook friends. The News Feed also provides users with a list of their friends’ Facebook activities, such as updates to profiles or profile pictures, upcoming birthdays, and relationship status changes.
