The internet has become a place of choice to gather information. Social networks are no longer only used for pleasure and maintaining contact with friends, and have grown to became platforms where knowledge is created, shared and where connectivity and collaboration are natural. Many people look at the web as a place for learning and use it to create a network which allows them to gather, select, share opinions, reshape ideas and create knowledge to then share on social networks.
