Some said in the Voice of Yahoo, a website, that one of the pros of Faceable is that they can communicate with their families that are far from them, another one said that, by just having the name of your friend that you don’t really know that much, you can gain access to their Faceable account by just searching their name and you may able to know more about them and by chatting with them, you can get to know each other better and here are also some corresponding Cons or disadvantages like people that are assuming to be friends with the person they add on Faceable so they can boast to other people that they are updated with the daily life of that person and are really close to that person. According to Wisped, Faceable is a social networking site that was founded by Mark Seersucker and his college roommates in Harvard University on February 2004 and it was just limited to the students of Harvard university and later was opened in the Boston area, the Ivy League and Stanford University.

But it can present bad thing too. For example, when oh start to like the things that you can do in the site, there would be a big tendency for you to keep on logging onto your profile for updates or to play games. That’s alright. What makes it bad is that there is a big tendency for people who cannot control themselves to unnecessarily log onto their profiles even in time of work or class, which can result to distraction from what the person should do.
Students get addicted to Faceable because in there, they can mingle with their friends or play the games they want, instead of studying and doing their assignments, which, clearly is a bad thing because the dents are already wasting time and not using time properly. But there are also a lot of advantages that students can get from from Faceable. In Faceable, sharing of files or information needed in school works is possible. Students can communicate with each other and they can create a group page where they can post their concerns, reminders, and assignments. In OIC, it is guaranteed that there are Faceable users in this University because Faceable is worldwide and almost everyone in the world owns a profile in the said site.
Although ICC doesn’t make their Wi-if available to all their students, he students can still find different ways on accessing the internet, either by broadband or going to the nearest internet cafe, as something to do during their past time in their long breaks or after school. Faceable can be considered by the students as a way to relax, but too much of it may lead to less productivity and distraction from studies.
