Facebook is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. Users create profiles that often contain photos and lists of personal interests, exchange private or public messages, and join groups of friends.

7. Fill out some of your profile info like which company you work for, High School details, etc. This is another optional step. So you can skip.
8. Enter the city you live in to try to join the network for that city. You can also skip this step, but joining a network can help you find your friends easily in your network.
