    Key features of facebook

Connect with friends

Facebook allows you to maintain friend list and choose privacy settings to tailor who can see content on your profile

• Facebook Friend Finder: Enables you to scan the e-mail addresses in your e-mail address book to find whether those people are already on Facebook.
• People You May Know: Shows you the names and pictures of people you likely know. These people are selected for you based on commonalities like where you live or work or how many friends you have in common.
• Search: Helps you find the people who are most likely already using Facebook.

Communicate with Facebook friends

• Facebook supports interactive online chat and the ability to comment on your friend's profile pages to keep in touch, share information or to say "hi."

Share your thoughts

Maybe you’re proud of the home team, maybe you’re excited for Friday, or maybe you can’t believe what you saw on the way to work this morning. All day long, things are happening to all of you that make you just want to turn to our friends and say, “You know what? Facebook gives you the stage and an eager audience.

Share your pictures

Many memories fade away when the smiling faces are stuffed into an old shoe box, remain on undeveloped rolls of film, or are forgotten in some folder on a hard drive.

• Facebook gives you the power to control exactly who has access to your photos.This enables you to tailor your audience to those friends who might be most interested.

Plan Events,

Your friends and other guests RSVP to events, which allows the event organizers to plan accordingly and allows attendees to receive event reminders.

Join Groups

Groups of people organized around a common topic or real-world organization. One group may be intimate, and another practical. Within a group, all members can share relevant information, photos, or discussions.

Promote a cause or business

Pages look almost exactly like Timelines, just for the not-quite-people among us. Instead of becoming friends with Pages, you can like them.

Liking Pages for businesses or causes helps you stay up-to-date with news from them.

If you’re the one managing something like a small business, a cause, or a newsletter, you can also create a page. After you’ve created that page, your users/customers/fans can like it, and then you can update them with news about whatever’s going on in the world of your store/cause/thing.

We apply the blue verification badge to eligible brands, media organizations and public figures. Eligibility for the blue verification badge is based on a variety of factors, such as account completeness, policy compliance and public interest.

You can recommend businesses that have turned on Recommendations for their Page.

Insights about your Page's recommendations are the number of times that people have recommended your Page in posts or comments. 

Boost

When you boost your post it will appear higher in your audience's News Feed and be seen by users who haven't yet liked your page.

Boosted Posts are the most basic advertising option Facebook has to offer. Organic reach on Facebook is low across the board to begin with, which means that a post on its own is likely to reach a very small portion of your target audience. With Boosted Posts,  Facebook takes a previously shared post from your facebook business page and makes it more prominent across the platform.
