This article deals around improvements that could possibly be integrated into Facebook.

Some time ago, I became aware of Instituut voor Veteranen-NIOOO's "Live and Remember" project (http://www.liveandremember.be/ ), which publishes the personal information of veterans on facebook. Although this is a good project to put ex-combatants back into the spotlights, the project clearly exposes a major defect in Facebook. Facebook is in fact originally designed as a comprehensive "white pages", or a database of (living) individuals to list their contact information However, given the long list of people who are deceased, and the fact that the list of deceased people (which were still alive at the time of their addition) is increasingly longer, the creation of separate categories (for living persons and deceased persons) seems inevitable.

Facebook is the most visited website in social mediia. It is popular in over the world that you can do everything to express something. It's continuosly improving because billion of people use this site.you can comment,post,react,share,upload, and many more. It is recommendable site because ii is very updated of this generation.

At the moment the people in Facebook have not been categorized as such. A categorization, and a slightly different lay-out of the contact information in this category (eg "Location" becomes "Past location", the searching of the name of a deceased person, and their location is split-up into the two categories (to avoid having living people/locations (and vice versa) found in the search), ... "Nickname" should also be added (eg to facilitate the searching on well-known deceased persons). An example of this is eg Avicenna, Dioscorides, Pliny ... A directive might be prepared for the "Personal Data", eg in the example of Avicenna, Dioscorides, ... no extensive information should be listed; inventions and personal achievements can be listed in online encyclopedias such as wikipedia ( a link to the page on wikipedia can be placed above). Group Feed. In spite that there are millions of groups and the average user belongs to several dozens of groups, there is yet no effective way to monitor the groups. A group feed of the groups you belong to would take care part of the problem. Add friends to your different lists while looking at their profiles.Custom feed when opening Home. Before the change in which Home opens with Top News with the ability to wobble to Most Recent, I could have the feed of selected friends show when opening Facebook.Download the emails of your friends. Possible to write more than 20 friends at the time.Send a friend request to fans of pages you manage. Send friend requests to members of groups that you manage. Upload sound files that would play on your Page.See Friends Status in a list, which also include the hidden friends.Able to edit lists of friends in Home as well as in Profile.

Facebook could also discard the divisioning in the various countries (eg using seperate websites as http://nl-nl.facebook.com/, http://fr-fr.facebook.com/, ...), so that the aspiration to attain a global “white pages” could be better fulfilled (ie people are not bound to a particular country). Also, in the future, facebook could probably be linked with the personal information the national authorities possess (and with electronic identity cards, ...). This information could then be used to take out non-existent persons, and false personal information from the database. It would also keep the personal information more up-to-date.

Facebook is useful if it is used properly. It is efficient and effective in disseminate information, just one click the message sent and received by all the concerned in a matter seconds. In additional, it is an instrument or way to communicate to your love one no matter they are across the miles. Likewise, it keeps the family members relationship enhances and sustains though they are away from one another. It also plays an important role in education like it serves as medium of communication and distribution of information between teacher and student and it keep us updated anytime.

Finally, there is also the problem that companies are more and more being integrated into Facebook. As Facebook is primarily focused on being a “white pages” and not a “yellow pages”, this information is best also taken out. Instead, perhaps a new database can be made (eg called “Yellow pages Online” or “Companybook”) to place the companies in. This would keep the database simpler and more efficient (especially as people from more and more countries being are added.

Facebook, Inc. held its initial public offering (IPO) in February 2012, and began selling stock to the public three months later, reaching an original peak market capitalization of $104 billion. On July 13, 2015, Facebook became the fastest company in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to reach a market cap of $250 billion.[11] Facebook has more than 1.86 billion monthly active users as of December 31, 2016.[12] As of April 2016, Facebook was the most popular social networking site in the world, based on the number of active user accounts.[13] Facebook classifies users from the ages of 13 to 18 as minors and therefore sets their profiles to share content with friends only.
