available and they make privacy a thing of the past."

Social impact
Facebook has affected the social life and activity of people
in various ways. With its availability on many mobile devices, Facebook allows
users to continuously stay in touch with friends, relatives and other
acquaintances wherever they are in the world, as long as there is access to the
Internet. It can also unite people with common interests and/or beliefs through
groups and other pages, and has been known to reunite lost family members and
friends because of the widespread reach of its network.
An example of this would be the reunion
between John Watson and his daughter who he had been searching for 20 years and
met after John found her FB profile.
Some argue that Facebook is beneficial to one's social life because they
can continuously stay in contact with their friends and relatives,
while others say that it can cause increased antisocial tendencies
because people are not directly communicating with each other. Some
studies have named Facebook as a source of problems in relationships.
Media impact
In April 2011, Facebook launched a new portal for marketers and creative
agencies to help them develop brand promotions on Facebook. The company began its push by inviting a select group
of British advertising leaders to meet Facebook's top executives in February
2010.
