    Facebook is a social media website launched in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg for college students to connect. It has since expanded to allow anyone to join. Key features allow users to interact through photos, messages, and adding friends. While it provides benefits of social connection and collaboration, it also presents some risks like distraction, privacy and identity issues, and negative behaviors like stalking if not used carefully. The impact on organizations is mixed, as it enables communication but also potential issues from employee use.
