FACEBOOK
This media is owned by Mark Zuckerberg , it allows to people post pictures, share ideas, post videos and even live stream on it at any particular time. People who have lost contact long ago can meet on this platform because if right information is given, about them, Facebook will bring to them "People they may know". There are different groups on Facebook which allow people meet new faces, have new ideas and in the other way make some people do some certain things they can't perform on their wall. Facebook comprises different people; where you see some people with good intentions, in the same vein, you see one with the mindset of dating them at the first instant they get accepted on Facebook. You can see it's actually funny, a chat like "Hello pretty, can we date" oh! Facebook allows different kind of messages.
