Facebook is a social media site that is intended to allow users to connect with one another. It has since become the largest social media site in history, with an estimated two billion users.
Relevance to Super Smash Bros.
Since the growth of Facebook, especially since 2012, it has become one of the most popular ways for smashers to connect with one another. Facebook's ability to allow users to create groups has allowed for such groups to be created devoted to entire regions and for specific games, allowing prospective players interested in finding tournaments near them or allowing them to connect with other players in their region to learn the game. Facebook's popularity has since eclipsed that of Smashboards, owing to its greater presence in most people's lives, that Facebook's interface and etiquette are more well-known to most users compared to forums, and its ability to streamline groups allows players to access regions and games pertinent to their interests.
Applied usage of Facebook has also allowed for a number of projects relevant to Smash to be accessible to a wider number of players. Various mods, such as Project M and Brawl- have their own pages, allowing users to follow updates on both mods without having to use their official sites or follow their threads on Smashboards.
Nintendo also runs an official Facebook page, as to promote its various games and products.
