Facebook has always been a popular social network that lets people update their status, upload photos and videos, and communicate with new and old friends from around your city to around the world. However, when the protests of Egypt erupted the country, people started to use Facebook for other reasons other than to update that someone got out of class. The people of Egypt used the social network to create groups to help the cause of its revolt with events being posted for people to attend and to spread the word around. This act of unity against the unjust experienced in Egypt has been possible with Facebook and its continuos spread of communication. America on the other hand is not using this networking tool to help fellow Americans with problems but just add useless status updates that really no cares about. People need to learn from the Egypt event and know that there are more important things that this social network can do other than talk to friends. I personally am I victim of this sort of Facebook useless status updates and with the current news, I've realized that it needs to be put to use not just entertain me when I'm bored. America needs to follow Egypt's example and put Facebook to good use. No one cares about you ate for dinner or that you don't know what to wear. Really.
