This paper aimed at verifying and characterizing how Facebook supports its members sociability. The methodology adopted consisted of a qualitative approach. We initially used the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM) to identify the proposal and strategies adopted by the designer to provide sociability. Subsequently, we applied a questionnaire to identify the expectations, preferences and use of Facebook by its users. The results showed that the designer adopts strategies considered relevant to promote social interaction with quality in online networks. The analysis of use showed the correspondence between the designer's proposal and the use that the participants of this research have been making of Facebook.
