Facebook is a social utility network used mostly by college students, but also by high school students. Facebook gives you the ability to communicate with others thru pictures, wall posts, messages, and now recently instant messaging. Facebook allows you to post pictures of youself and friends.

I know some people who put up photos of famous people and other images of popular culture. Also Facebook supplies you with an info page which allows you to supply info about music you like, movies you like, even food you like. Applications are also available through Facebook. For example you can ad the movie trivia application which allows you to answer trivia questions about movies and compete against others.

It is my personal opinion that Facebook itself has become popular culture. It is advertised on the internet and now on t.v. Ads for movies and music are placed on Facebook, and now Facebook is even mentioned in current popular movies. Most of all, Facebook gives you an opportunity to meet people that share the same pop culture interests as you.

An example I want to use is my Facebook page. My page consists of many things, from movies and quotes to musical artists. On my info screen it gives a list of my favorite t.v shows and movies. There is also a section for quotes, which most of mine are from movies or songs. Also on my page there is a section where you can post pictures of your favorite musical artists and little samples of there music. You can also post the covers of your favorite books and albums. My Facebook is a shrine to my favorite pieces of popular culture.
