2.0 METHODOLOGY
The distribution of respondent according to age shows a generally similar pattern for males and females.The responden also are selected by considering module and race and not forgetting about their background. Random selection of respondent at Kedah Matriculation College was done.The interviewer wrote down the names of respondent.Besides that we choose respondents that look like familiar and skillful with social network and the respondents that not interested with it. We prepare to conduct parallel surveys such as high-quality telephone or face-to-face survey and an online surveys. It may be helpful to regard the exercise as a non-randomised experiment with a treatment. We have choosen questions to represent the independent variables. Ideally, the questions will account for all observed. Possible questions for this research include demographic measures such as age,gender,region,education level and others. Possible non-demographic questions include attitudes towards privacy,attitudes toward security and risk,online video viewing behaviour, measures of physical activities and so on. After fielding the parallel survey,we use logistic regression to estimate each respondents view. The demographic and non-demographic question selected would serve as models independent variable. Exercise good judgement when deciding in particular whether it is possible to represent attitudes,experience and behaviours. Next ,assign each respondent,irrespective of his or her originating sample source, to available surveys based on propensity score about social network.

The process describe thus far is an ongoing one. Any model that is developed will not stand the test of time. Attitudes, experience and behaviours of using social network will change,so the model development process described will need to be repeated periodically.

1.0 Introduction
Social networking involves the use of the internet to connect users with their friends, family and acquitances. Social networking websites are not necessarily about meeting new people online, although this does happen. Instead, they are primarily about connecting with friends,family and acquitances you already have in real life. The most well known social networking sites are Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Linked In. Online social network facilitate connections between people based on shared interest,value,membership in particular group. They make it easier for people to find and communicate with individuals who are in their network using the web as the interface.These sites allow you to share photos, videos and information, organise events, chat, download music and even play games like scrabble and chess online. Our social tools are not an improvement to modern society, they are a challenge to it. Clay Shirky. Often each of your friends (Facebook) or followers (Twitter) will be friends with several of your other friends. Just like in real life,the connections between people are not just oneto-one, but a network of connections. This online social network is very useful in spreading information, pictures and videos. For example, you can easily set up a web page with details and pictures of an event you might be planning, such as a school fete. The site allows you to easily send out invitations to other users of the social networking site. Then, if given the option by the host,those who are invited can send out more invites to their friends who might like to attend- hence, the network. Social media isn't something that you "do", instead you have to "be" social. -Peter Thomson, Tickle.

For this project we are going to focus on ego-centre social network, those that are focused on individuals especially students,as opposed to network that bulid up around objects, such as delicious, Flicks Slideshare.You are what you share. - Ralph Waldo Emerson. There are several different online social network such as Facebook. Linked In and Twitter. Each of these network has its own unique style, functionality and pattern of usage. You will also find that different people are active in different networks.

Linked In
Primarily professional network, designed to facilitate linkage between people who are wanting to connect for work-related purposes. It is more buttoned-down than Facebook with a formal culture of relationship and connections

Facebook
Originally developed for College student to connect, so it has a more informal, social air than you find on Linked In. Now, open to anyone, you will still find that Facebook is the preferred network for millenials who see the enroachment of boomers and to a lesser extent, gent into the network as cause for some alarm.
