5. 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 thing 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.
