VII. Read the text and then decide the correct answer.
Facebook
Do you use any of the social networking websites which are so popular these days, the places where
you can connect up with friends and relatives and meet people who share the same interests as you?
If youre younger you may use MySpace, young adults are more likely to be found on Facebook
and busy professionals may prefer something like LinkedIn. But at least two of these sites have one
hing in common: apart from being social spaces where you can meet and chat to people, share photos and
other things, theyve all added new verbs and nouns to the language in the past couple of years. Lets take a
look at some examples. You can facebook your holiday photos (upload them to your Facebook page),
facebook someone to see who they are (look him up in Facebook), facebook someone about a party (contact
someone through their Facebook page) and ask permission to facebook someone (add them as a Facebook
friend).
As you can see, facebook is a pretty versatile word, and you could say the same about myspace, which
you will find being used in much the same way all over the Net. LinkedIn (being a more adult, professional
community) has not been used in the same way. While youre facebooking or myspacing you may also
find yourself commenting (writing a comment on someones Facebook or MySpace page), as in this
example: I commented Mary that she should come to the pub on Saturday and she commented me that she
couldnt because she was going away for the weekend.
