Creating a Facebook Account

Setting up a Facebook account is a simple process. If you don’t already have one, don’t worry; it’s free, and anyone can sign up to use Facebook. Just point your browser to http://www.facebook.com/ and fill the fourm with your name, email ID, password and birthday then click the Sign Up button as shown in the below figure.

The form asks a few simple questions about you and will send you a confirmation e-mail to verify your e-mail address. After you confirm your account, you have the opportunity to join a network. These networks are grouped by academic institutions, locations, and businesses and are at the core of Facebook’s social structure’s organization. Once you join a network, you are able to access information about the people in that network.
