Get Started On Facebook
Facebook isn't just one big site; it's made up of lots of separate networks based around things like schools, companies, and regions.

If you want to see the profiles of your classmates or coworkers on the site, be sure to use your school or work email to register. You can search for anyone on Facebook, but you can only see profiles of your friends and people in your networks.
Edit Your Profile
Fill out your profile with your photo and interests, your work and education history, your favorites and more.

Your profile contains your personal info and recent activity. You can also post cool videos, articles and other things you find on the Web or on Facebook. You can read the messages your friends leave on your wall, and you can see all the photos of you from around the site.
