In a survey done by Bagget and Williams (2012),
students agree that social media is a means to connect
between individuals and is used as a way to sharing
interest. These are useful tools for communication and
education, and are a means to keep in touch with people
professionally. They provide an opportunity for
networking in any profession. In another study
conducted by Venezuela, Park and Kee (2008) the
medium of technological capabilities as well as the
actual content it transmits influence people’s attitudes
and behaviors. Apart from the above, some general
observations were made. First and foremost, online
social networks are effective structures for connecting
people, allowing them to create content and participate
in public affairs in a meaningful way. Second, social
networks are not just a place to spend time in but are
useful tools for collective action.

Since online social networks such as Facebook
were introduced last decade, they have attracted
millions of users and have become integrated into our
daily routines. OSNs provide users with virtual spaces
where they can find other people with similar interests
to communicate with and share their social activities
(Lambić et al. 2016). The concept of OSNs is a
combination of technology, information, and human
interfaces that enable users to create an online
community and build a social network of friends
(Borrero et al. 2014). Kum Tang and Koh (2017) defined
OSNs as “web-based virtual communities where users
interact with real-life friends and meet other people
with shared interests”. A more detailed and well-cited
definition of OSN was introduced by Boyd and Ellison
(2008) who defined OSNs as “web-based services that
allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semipublic
profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of
other users with whom they share a connection, and (3)
view and traverse their list of connections and those
made by others within the system”.
