You can reunite with old classmates, share pictures of your family or network, but if none of that is enough to encourage you to join Facebook, we've got something else that just might: freebies!
From food to office supplies, manufacturers are using the social networking site to promote their products. That means you can get a load of free stuff.
It may have been Burger King that launched the Facebook freebie frenzy when it offered a free Whopper to anyone who deleted 10 Facebook friends. Burger King reports 233,906 friends were bartered for a burger.
Other companies caught on. Now, you might say, everybody's doing it.
“If I don't find a Facebook freebie like once every other day, I'm surprised,” said Ryan “Goob” Eubanks.
Goob is a freebie fanatic. He runs a the website heyitsfree.net, where he shares his free finds with his readers. He sat down to talk with us via Skype.
