Why can anyone join Facebook now?

[Adri]

i think its pretty cool but thats me because im a high school student and alot of friends and i keep updated through facebook i think its better and they did it that way because they needed money or something

[Lovebug]

no i don't know why it changed, and i don't like it at all.
they should have left it as it was.

Facebook's success will depend upon having a very large client base. The idea is to push advertising at them as the revenue stream. Thus it is necessary to suck in every body they can to inflate their numbers and thereby demand more money from the advertisers.

Why not let anyone join Facebook? It gets more revenue from advertising if more people join.

I don't like Facebook too much overall because of the whole privacy issue, but I use it anyway.

Better way of networking i guess, i'm a member but i don't visit often its too time consuming i like 360 or myspace better

[yeah]

so they can make more money...
like myspace?

It probably changed due to people posting fake schools in place of their real one.

Not everyone is supposed to be able to join FaceBook, only high school and college students/recent graduates
But people are now lying about what grade they are in (i.e. middle schoolers can claim they are freshman, older people can say they graduated a college)

i really like facebook and i like the fact that you dont just have to be a college student to join it! i have friends from all over on facebook and thats whats its about ,,, keeping in touch with old and new friends!

i hate it now but they changed it to expand their targeted groups and to make more money
