With 500 million users worldwide, facebook is a very large social networking site. Its use by youth culture is in a way that allows the development of a culture of facebook users. They were spaces to mark identity and socialize with peers.Gossiping, flirting, joking around and hanging out were all skills that were used in this forum. Parents concern was that these arenas were unchartered territory, and there was not alot known about the boundaries or implications of this technology. Research is quite recent on this topic, but a noticeable study has concluded that self preservation, peer socialbility, and negotiating adult society are three primary reasons why young people use facebook. Its continued use will be studied with interest in the future.
