Along with the technology age came the wave of social networking. And just how big is the wave in fact? How much do our daily activities depend on this flow of unrestrained Internet connections?

Moreover, people are starting to replace the human relationships with the virtual ones, thus leaving themselves in the position where they cannot face the world unless via Internet.
The rise of the internet has led to the birth of the most prolific marketing stage in history: social media.

Any company has the ability to promote its products or services and more importantly, its brand, on a global stage instead of a national or regional one.
