The Facebook users redefining the 20-year-old social network
From California to Southeast Asia, Facebook is capturing a new generation of users who see it as a commercial tool rather than a fun networking platform.
They are more likely to be promoting their businesses than connecting with friends.
As the veteran social media platform celebrates its 20th birthday, four users share their experiences with AFP.

"I have a personal Facebook page, I can't tell you the last time I really looked at it," said Nina Vukicevic.
Vukicevic is farm manager at Common Roots Farm, a non-profit in Santa Cruz that produces organic food and runs courses in gardening and farming.
Vukicevic said Facebook did have many uses for the business -- whether sharing ideas in specialist groups or posting updates to the farm's pages.
"With the groups, I was able to find more local connections, but also resources from around the world on things I'm interested in," they said.
"I get to talk to market gardeners in Switzerland that I wouldn't otherwise be able to connect to because we're all part of this group."
"To be honest, (if Facebook vanished) I would be bummed to not have these resources."
