Facebook for IM: How to Register Your FaceBook Account

We’ve all had those experiences where signing up for a service – especially a free service – turns into a nightmare at the worst, or a headache at the least. You typically have to wade through questions that have little to do with the service you are signing up for, and of course view countless offers in which you have no interest.
This is not something that you will encounter when you sign up for a free account at FaceBook. The entire process takes five to ten minutes, and few questions are asked. In fact, the only questions that are asked are those that are absolutely necessary for opening an account. It’s definitely a refreshing change, and here are the steps that you need to take to get started with your own free FaceBook account:
1. Go to www.facebook.com
2. In the box where it says to ‘Sign up for a free account’, enter your name, email address, and password. Select whether you are male or female, and fill in your date of birth. You must use your full name here. This will not be shown on your profile. You must also enter your date of birth, so that FaceBook can ensure that you are over the age of 13.
3. Go to your email and open the confirmation email from Facebook. You must click the link in the email to confirm your account or you will not be able to activate your Facebok account.
4. Once you’ve clicked the link in the confirmation email, you are good to go. You can login to FaceBook, start setting up your profile and add friends to your list. There is a utility you can use to search your address book to see if any of your current friends are a member of Facebook.
That’s all there is to setting up your free FaceBook account. The entire process takes less than ten minutes, although setting up your profile will most likely take longer. The signup process, however is very easy and mostly self explanatory and it is just a matter of reading what information is being requested and filling that information into the incredibly short form to get started.
