Level of use of mobile phones in Indonesia itself is quite high . Most cell phones issued to include applications to access Facebook. Mobile phones and Facebook as if it can not be separated.

Therefore, although many Indonesian people who do not have internet connection at home, but the phone has applications to assess Facebook, many Indonesian people are accessing Facebook with very active.
Another factor why Facebook is widely used in Indonesia is the existence of social influences that encourage Indonesian people chose to use Facebook. There are subjective factors when we choose to use communications technology (Grant & Meadows, 2010) In the development of Facebook in Indonesia, many people began to use the Facebook.

There is a friend who uses Facebook, make the Indonesian people were using Facebook as well. Previously it was thought even, people using Friendster was outdated when Facebook started to enter Indonesia. Not wanting to be considered obsolete, many Friendster users who do not send a message through Friendster anymore, but switched to Facebook. Other people who initially do not use any social networking Facebook then use it because they do not want to be considered obsolete.

A growing number of social networking sites are present, the more the choice of the people of Indonesia to choose which social networking sites will be actively used.
Of course this will affect the existence of the Facebook one day in the future. In the future one day, Facebook has been a possibility remains that the social networking site favored by the people of Indonesia or a social networking site that is no longer popular bleak experienced by the social networking site earlier, Friendster.
