1. Facebook
FEATURES-:
1)Chat-On April 5, 2008, Facebook pre-released Facebook Chat.[1][2] As of April 23, 2008,
Facebook Chat was released to the entire Facebook user base. Users may chat with their Facebook
friends on a one-to-one basis, or a user may chat with multiple friends simultaneously through the
groups feature.
2) Friend- Friending" someone is the act of sending another user a friend request on
Facebook. Once the friend request is set, the two people are Facebook friends once the
receiving party accepts the friend request. In addition to accepting the request, the user has
the option of declining the friend request or hiding it using the "Not Now" feature. Deleting a
friend request removes the request, but does allow the sender to resend it in the future. The
"Not Now" feature hides the request but does not delete it, allowing the receiver to revisit the
request at a later date.
3) Like
Described by Facebook as a way to "give positive feedback and connect with things you care
[18]
about", users can "like" status updates, comments, photos, and links posted by their friends, as well
as adverts, by clicking the "Like" button at the bottom of the content. This makes the content appear in
[19]
their friends' News feeds.
4) Messages and inbox
[32]
Since the website's founding, it has allowed users to send messages to each other. A Facebook
user can send a message to any number of his/her friends at a time. Deleting a message from one's
inbox does not delete it from the inbox of other users, thus disabling a sender to redo a message sent
by him or her.
5)Notifications
Notifications of the more important events, for example, someone sharing a link on the user's wall or
commenting on a post the user previously commented on, briefly appear for a few seconds in the
bottom left as a popup message (if the user is online), and a red counter is updated on the toolbar at
the top, thus allowing the user to keep track of all the most recent notifications.

PERSONEL EXPERIENCE-
I have used Facebook to achieve just about everything from creating a strictly personal
experience, while also complementing that with a variety of techniques that I have applied to
promote myself, and my business, by successfully Marketing on Facebook. I admit, Facebook
has intentionally limited it's functionality in certain arenas, there are STILL little things that you
can do to exploit their platform's functionality, to it's fullest, without violating any of their Terms of
Service (TOS).

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE-:
I purchased FILA shoe in the month of July2012 , Within a short span of 3 months the shoe bottom was
worn out, more over the quality of the shoe is not up to the standard. I assume the shoe which was
delivered to me was not an original brand. As I purchased this shoe from online store MYNTRA.COM I do
3. not have any other company warranty. So I requested through Email to MYNTRA.COM to take a proper
action.
They replied me to courier the shoe to them, I did the same thing within in a 4 days’ time... I received
courier from MYNTRA.COM. I eagerly opened the Courier, but they send the same damaged shoes
without any explanation for returning the same. Next day I contacted MYNTRA.COM Customer Care, they
are not properly responding to me and finally saying that "Their QC team inspected shoe and the result
was the Shoe is extensively used".

I'm slightly annoyed with the visual quality of my videos on YouTube. I watch the videos of other
people, and the quality is reasonably good. It's not perfect of course, but the image is crisp
enough. Yet, all my video uploads seem to have more blur and lossy-ness problems than most.
