Legal Matters
Even if Facebook seems so informal in the eyes of non-professionals, it has proven to be very advantageous in tracking down legal disputes. Officials from the Pennsylvania State University reported that they have successfully pursued those students who have bombarded in the field during the Ohio State Game way back October of 2005. It is also helpful in police searches for tracking down culprits and students who violate the standards and moral codes of their colleges where they attended. However, a lot of students either in the high school or college level constantly disagree with how the authorities rely on the information given out in Facebook. They thought that it was unfair to be penalized just because a drinking spree photo was posted on an album in the website.

Social Interaction
When it comes with communication, digital communities like Facebook hits the number one spot. It most certainly has a lot of advantages when it tackles about communication per se. It can allow it users to track down long lost friends, acquaintances and relatives that they haven't seen for years. Users are able to meet new groups and are able to interact with their likes and dislikes. Through the system's organization of profiles, it allows its users access to other personal interests that a contact can use. This can also be a perfect gateway for love to bloom in a dating process.

Organizations can post on their walls updates regarding upcoming events and gatherings. And even though there is an increase in the accessibility of online communities like Facebook, there are supporters who still insist that the service offer more alternatives in terms of communication modes therefore allowing announcements of different capabilities and functions which will remain dominant.
