What did we do before Facebook? Did we know how to cook, find apartments, complain and laugh at ourselves? • Probably yes, but it wasn't that easy

The Facebook social network was founded in 2004, in the years that followed, and in the past decade has affected almost every area of ​​our lives. From a number of likes we received on a photo or post, continued on many couples they knew through the computer to the Facebook groups that grew, grew and became an integral part of our lives. We have selected some particularly notable groups.

Funny

The Facebook world is saturated with groups of mothers, and no wonder - being a mother is not easy at all. There are the investors, the sinkers and the brewers. And there's also a slightly different group in the landscape where the companies are laughing. What is laughing? For everything! Don't take prisoners. It's a funny group (and don't you dare call them a funny mom).

In hilarious, you will find posts that laugh about situations and cases that may otherwise appear less legitimate. Everything is open, and most of all it's a real name, how does Shay live? All the truth inside.

Many women feel rested there, perhaps even a kind of refuge from the life of the mother. Instead of grumbling, you can break boundaries with 400,000 other women. Instead of getting annoyed at the husband who didn't do what he was supposed to do, or the quarrels with the kids, just laugh at them, and then friends and girlfriends - it lowers the level of frustration! Did you catch the trick?

There are no judgments or criticisms in the group, and there is also some harshness when those who do not meet the criteria of the group's rules are emitted. In addition, the various posts are acknowledged by the Admin, which has often caused this writer to write a post thinking that she is a minimum of Ashkenazi witnesses in front of a crowd of thousands and he was not approved. This filtering maintains a certain balance and sharpness, but also causes frustration among some of the women who very much want to integrate, and talk between themselves and their son on the subject (that you shouldn't write a review - you come out of the sahi).

The group has grown at a dizzying pace and seems to be just the beginning. Because who doesn't want to laugh a little at the end of the day, or read and tell herself, hey, it's like that at home.

Father is flawed

It's not easy being a man during this time. Women are confident for some reason that we won the big lottery of biology, but being a man is no less shit than being a woman, and probably even more so. It's not easy to stay upright when the wind of time blows against you.

Emotions of this kind have permeated the male consciousness for some time, but the feeling we get is that in most cases and places it is not really legitimate for us to vent them.

In this sense, a flawed father group exploded on the social network in complete accord with the spirit of the time. We too, who have recently been on the wrong ends of too many matters, have finally had a place to go.

So it is true that in the past (almost four years, forever in terms of social networking) the page has provided an instructive lesson in commercialization, and it is true that most of their slang and customs are mostly yawning, but for many people they came at just the right moment.

Because of this, even though I am at all silent (too many talks on how to clean a toaster), for me this group is the most important one that has opened here in the last decade.

Secret flights

One of the best-known groups and pages on Facebook is "secret flights." The page opened by the Yaniv and Ariel Lannis brothers somewhere in August 2017 became a hit that attracts hundreds of thousands of Israelis every day and causes them to fly and lots.

Secret flights are found via bot and experts, flights at hilarious prices, with over the last two years flights to Japan for less than $ 400, New York for $ 370 and India for less than $ 300.

The Niss Brothers set up a unique bot that finds the cheapest flight for you to destinations you want by an exact date or a more general time period. Moreover, the page contains expert recommendations of secret flights on proper conduct of flight searches.

Secret flights publish an average of 2-4 posts a day, according to the reality that they manage to fish in various search engines around the world.

According to the founders of the page, it was first set up to update family and friends about the cheap flights they would find, but they also did not imagine it would reach the size and virality the page has today.

In the future, "secret flights" are planning technological connections that will provide information on flights that are cheaper and faster for followers. In addition, secret flights are also expected to operate outside of Facebook and may soon see interesting surprises.

"The most significant moment for us was right at the beginning of the venture when we came up with a $ 333 logos flight post and within the hour our surfers liquidated the inventory and sold 50 tickets. To Nice.

Moms cook together

In an age where everyone is on Facebook, and it draws information from all walks of life, a group of moms cooking together full of diverse content and greatly affecting companies. If ever to make dinner the group members would open the fridge, today's random torch browsing is the one that provides the ideas for a dish to find on the table.

The "Moms Cook Together" group was formed in January six years ago, and since then has grown and expanded, becoming one of the largest and most influential Facebook groups in Israel, with 567,000 companies of all sectors and ages.

Hundreds of posts a day are posted in the group, where the surfers' food is eaten with neat recipes and tips. The group has also established an external website where each user has her own personal recipe book, which contains all the materials she has uploaded accompanied by pictures. From time to time, the group's managers collaborate with large companies in the field, offering exclusive discounts and benefits to the group's companies.

The group's manager, Yaara Dror, is very strict about strict rules and appropriate discussion culture, and despite the size of the group, she manually approves all posts that go up to it. The group has a strong sense of community, which is manifested in the conduct of the group's companies, and with their mutual assistance and many pheroms. Each post that comes up has a neat recipe attached, and in the comments you can see that the users ask questions and get detailed answers from the author of the post, which makes it one of the most influential groups on the Web.

Apartment searches

In this case, we could not choose one group, but to deal with the phenomenon. In the past, to find an apartment you would look for in the various necessary ads, you asked friends and hoped to find something reasonable to live in. Since groups were created such as apartments between friends, word of mouth apartments and then dedicated groups to a specific or even more specific area - for rent or sale, without real estate and more, they have become an easy and popular way to look for an apartment.

Through Facebook you can know details, you can set with people who will see the apartment, view photos, even sell equipment in the apartment and save the broker's fee. Maybe it's worth sending her to Mark Zuckerberg.
