Imagine a world without a social media application, well, the universe will not collapse without the social media and people will not die if it has vanished, But the advantage of the social media that would really destroy huge businesses and disassemble the enormous networking connections among people. However,“social media” are defined as any Web sites, portals or applications that allow individuals to post and share content publicly, which allow other individuals to view, respond and share this content further. These media include digital-based applications such as public blogging and micro-blogging; music, image, audio and video sharing; review and opinion sharing; gaming and entertainment; location-based, event-based and occupation-based networks; information and news aggregation; presentation sharing; advocacy and fundraising; creation of virtual worlds; and all-purpose wide-appeal networks geared toward general audiences.[1] Moreover, before 1999 when the social media applications were not well recognized by the majority of people it would not really matter the idea of having a real connection via the internet even theoretical because of the social media complexity which people cannot absorb, and also because of the explosion of mobile phone then that made people think that they are in fantasy world for the reason that they can talk to the someone with a wireless mobile device, But now after the penetration of the social media applications in our lives, we actually cannot give it away under any circumstances; thats why it is a must to develop social media applications that supply their demands and strengthen their networking bonds by allowing them to do mostly everything they want with a single click.
