Facebook Users!

Describe the group for whom you will speak:  As a sociologist, I will represent Facebook Users.

When did they flourish? Where did they flourish? In what context? Who was their constituency, or audience?

Founded in 2003, it was originally intended for Harvard students. Shortly after it began to flourish as it expanded to other Boston area colleges, Ivy League colleges, then nationally towards high school students and eventually to anyone over the age of 13. Facebook is now global and users are located across all seven continents.

Why do they matter?

Facebook has changed the landscape of social networking, marketing, and overall popular culture in its use of media.
