Facebook is one of the most used social networks and it represents a perfect virtual platform to share information and to promote active and immediate interaction amongst users. This is why many NMSs develop new communication strategies and incorporate this tool for different purposes. In this paper we investigate how Facebook was introduced in different NMSs worldwide as an additional tool for the diffusion of meteorological information and interction with users.
