Facebook can provide three types of social support: informational, affectionate, and social companionship. Informational support involves offering guidance, advice, information, or feedback that can provide a solution to a problem. Facebook provides a convenient channel to quickly receive suggestions from friends. Affectionate support involves expressions of love and affection. Facebook provides several tools, such as its ‘‘like’’ and messaging functions, that can be used to show support and express emotions to friends. Social companionship involves spending time with others in leisure and recreational activities. Facebook seems to provide a safe and trusted online environment in which to share happy moments with friends. In other words, Facebook has provided a convenient channel for people to acquire informational, emotional, and even material assistance from online acquaintances.
