How to Find Facebook Networks
A Facebook network brings together a community of people who have things in common, such as the region where they live or the college they attended. When you join a network, you can establish a connection that lets you search for friends or colleagues within that network. If you have a Facebook account, you can easily find Facebook networks and join them if you desire.
