Facebook is currently the most popular social networking website in the world and has over 300 million active users. Facebook has revolutionized the social networking industry by creating status streams and the ever popular “Like” button that is found on Facebook as well as thousands of third party websites. Facebook allows each user to create a personal webpage and interact with friends, relatives, and co-workers by commenting on their pictures and status updates.

 

How to Search for People on Facebook

In order to find friends, relatives, and co-workers on Facebook, a user can take advantage of the Facebook Search bar, a feature that allows users to type in a person’s name and indicate whether he/she is searching for classmates, co-workers, an email address, or searching the general population for more specific results. The Facebook Search bar automatically lists people depending on their relation to the user, especially if they have mutual friends or live in the same city. The user can then click on each person and add him/her as a friend by clicking on “Send Friend Request.”

 

How to Invite People to Facebook

In addition to searching for people on Facebook, users can also add friends who are in their address book. Users can do this by signing into their Facebook account and clicking the Find Friends button in the top left hand corner of the user’s homepage. From here, the user can select his/her favorite email accounts and/or instant messaging programs in order to import all contacts from those accounts simultaneously.
