Social media and Social Web is an increasingly popular phenomenon. The concept of Social Web together with the Web 2.0 are creating new guidelines on the behavior of users and the managers of digital information services. The term 'Social Web' has different scope, and is generally used to describe how Web users interact with different purposes and interests. Social Web is an attitude that involves interaction and participation of users in the construction of content and the Web. From a functional point of view social Web could be defined with three letters 'SCB': Share, Comment and Build.
