The internet can be claimed to be one of man's greatest achievements that has contributed to the rise of a generation that is interconnected and more informed. Social media has been one of the ways through which people have stayed connected with their loved ones and have been getting certain of their information. Social media is powered by several social networking companies, some of which have focused on some niches, such as sharing pictures or videos while others just offer an all-rounded platform to share just about anything. One of the oldest of the current platforms is Facebook, which was founded over a decade ago and today can boast of having the highest number of users, 1.7 billion (Bober & Brasnett, 2009).
