Social media sites have revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. Social media is a website or an application that enables a user to share, create or participate in social networking content. Facebook and Twitter are the two most popular, social media websites of this new era. Facebook allows registered users to create profiles, upload pictures, share pictures, and upload videos.
Accepting a friend request is the first step to initiating a friendship with another Facebook user. Once the friend request is accepted, socializing can begin between the two users. According to Abutaleb (2015) Facebook had 1.55 billion monthly active users as of Sept. 30, up 14 percent from a year earlier. Of these, 1.39 billion used the service on mobile devices. Facebook has affected the activity and social life of people in various ways.
