    With social networking sites allowing the young users the opportunity to mingle with a huge network of known as well as unknown friends. It has become like an addiction for the young adults to create online profiles and certainly they are hooked to mobile phones, laptops and PCs. Accessing the internet through the mobile phones has made it even easier for the young generations to get logged-in into Facebook, Orkut or Twitter most of the time and post updates about their daily activities. Participating in the social networking sites and having an increased number of friends on the list is supposed to be a trend that cannot be ignored in any way. Nonetheless, the so called ‘friend list’ also includes some unknown friends and sharing of thoughts or personal stuffs to them might not be a good idea.
