Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook on February 4, 2004. At the time managing the social network was just a hobby to him. However, with the help of two fellow Harvard students he brought the application to a whole other level. Zuckerberg ended up holding off on his education to manage Facebook on a full time basis. Today Facebook has over 8 million users in the United States alone and is also available in 7 English speaking other countries. After MySpace it is the second largest social network that the Internet has to offer.http://mashable.com/2006/08/25/facebook-profile/

Before you can find friend on Facebook, you will have to sign up for a Facebook account. To do this, you will have to be at least 13 years of age and have a working email account. Following you will find the steps to take:

Start by going to Facebook.com.
The form page to sign up will require that you enter your first name, last name, email, password, sex and date of birth. After filling out the form click 'Sign Up'.
Check your email account for a registration email from Facebook. Confirm receipt of the email by click on the link in the email.
Now you can add your Facebook profile and start adding friends. For more information on adding your profile go to the Mahalo page how to customize your profile on Facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/help/?page=173

Step 2: Using Friend Finder

There are two ways to use an email account to find friend on Facebook. The first one is the Facebook 'Friend Finder' function. The steps are as follows:

Log into your Facebook account.
Click the 'Find Friends' tab in the upper right corner.
There will be a section called 'Find people you email'. Here you should enter your email address. Follow this by clicking 'Find Friends'.
The system will start looking through the address book of the email address you entered to find people that also have a Facebook page. You will see the system importing the data.
From here on you will be able to pick people from the generated list and add them as friends.
Keep in mind that you will have to request them to become your friend. Once they accept your request, they will be added to your list of friends.http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=769

Another way to find friends on Facebook using an email address is by using the email address of the person you are trying to find. The steps are as follows:

Log into your Facebook account.
Click the 'Find Friend' tab in the upper right hand corner of the page.
Scroll to the bottom and search for the section that says 'Look for people'.
Here you can enter an email address for the person you are looking for.
