Summary
In the last decade, using social network sites (SNSs) has grown and became an integral part of daily routine for many people all around the world. While it is true that all SNSs serve a similar purpose – chatting, sharing experiences and ideas, tracking and updating information about popular events etc., the specific features of each one are varied; so Facebook (FB) or Twitter addict may differ from Whats App or MySpace addict [5] and researchers argue that the need to separate out results from specific sites is crucial to understanding the development of SNSs addiction [6]. FB is the most popular SNS in the world [6,7], and social scientists have recently begun to examine aspects of its use and potential use to become addictive for both adults and adolescents [8,9]
