In extension, it also investigates whether Facebook usage influence to hunt new knowledge and capacity building such as social bonding, social capital and acquiring new skills and opportunities. Realistic data was composed from 312 Bangladeshi youth Facebook users through a questionnaire survey. It was observed that educational status is subjective on Facebook use while gender has no significant relationship advancing youth opportunities by the Facebook use. The study outcome also pointed up that there is a constructive bonding between youth opportunities and Facebook usage i.e. mostly active users modeling prospect youths related to opportunity search and social capital. The study also steers a positive browsing manual to the Bangladeshi youth Face book users who wish to see the Facebook as a “Savebook” that is really needed for the South Asian socio-economic context.
