Facebooked

Checked their profile

Facebooked means contacted, found, or researched through Facebook, the social media platform.

To Facebook someone is to send them a message, look them up, or add them as a friend on the site: I Facebooked him after the party, She Facebooked her old college roommate.

The term can also mean posted about: He Facebooked his vacation photos.

Like other platform names turned verbs, it suggests the specific social dynamics of that network—less formal than email, more personal than a search engine query.
