    "Network Pages will be discontinued soon
    Facebook will soon be removing Network Pages from the site. While you will still be in your current networks, you will not be able to access Network Pages such as this one.

    Please keep this in mind when communicating with others on the Wall and on the discussion board. You can use Groups to connect with the people around you."



    Any reason why?

    i don't see why they are removing networks. its odd cos i thought thats what made it successful as it allowed ppl to find each other in the first place, without networks finding another friend is also a lot harder as there are many results for one name usually and u can't narrow it down if there isn't any networks.

    tsk tsk they're acting dumb. did they even give a good reason? i mean, networks are especially good for college students. like in the summer new college students could get to know each other in that network, then find groups and so on.

    thinking about this again, they sed that the current networks which ur in will stay so thats fine then i guess cos im pretty much in most networks that i would be in anyway so it doesn't actually seem to affect me much. also i don't actually see facebook saying this on their website so i question the truth in this statement.

    a network is basically the group kind of thing that ur under, for example usually it is the name of ur school that ur at and thats a network. this basically allows u to then look at everybody's profile in the network without having to add them as a friend first to see their profile. this then allows u to tell whether u know this person or not so that u can then add them as a friend if u know them. thats basically what a network is and the function of it.

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    Well, most people don't even know how to change their privacy settings so I'm confident in saying you can see almost everyone in your network.

    adding to this
    a network is how you use to get on facebook

    facebook use to only be for college students, than they expanded that to include high schools
    where you could only get on if you belong to a REAL college, and they do that by checking your college issued email.
    This way a network was more viable of a source of truth of if your really from that section unlike a group that any one can get into without credentials

    like anyone can sign up for the PA group, but we dont know if they were are a PA person




    anyways i'm been hunting up and down the facebook website for an explaination and there isn't one.
