If you haven't heard of Facebook by now, then I'm pretty sure you have been living under a rock! Facebook is huge. It's everywhere. Everyone has one. And it's also avaliable on BlackBerry! So is it worth downloading it? To be short, yes!

The app itself is very interactive and easy to use. Pictures load reasnoably quickly and are very clear.

One downside is the search utillity. If you search for someone you know, for some reason, it doesn't bring up people with mutual friends first in the list. This makes it almost impossible to find anyone using the app, you're better off doing it on the computer. 

Another problem is that if you are looking from either yours, or someone elses friend lists, you cannot easily find someone. If you want to find 'Paul Smith', it would make sense to be able to press 'p' and be brought to everyone whos name starts with p. This however, doesn't happen. You have to scroll all the way through the list. This can be tiring when some people have around 800 friends!

Some of the newer things recently added to Facebook are the 'Groups' section, and the 'Chat' part. These also work really well.

 Your profile is very clear and easy to see, as is everyone elses.

You can also easily check your favourite fan pages and participate in them. Facebook is constantly making it easier to do things and so on.
