Through online and face-to-face surveys, supported by online interviews, the researcher established the motivations, evaluation, and general usage of the site.

Boyd and Ellison (2007) laid out the definition of social network site (SNS), but this definition suggested a passive use of SNS. Users were well immersed into SNS.

With this, the users’ motivations, evaluation and usage of SNS will merge to being a worthwhile social media experience.
