Media 1. Identity-This block denotes the extent to which users reveal their identities in a social media setting. This can include disclosing information such as names, age, gender, profession, location, and also information that portrays users in certain ways. 2. Conversations - This block describes how users communicate with other users in a social media setting. Many social media sites are designed primarily to facilitate conversations among individuals and groups. These conversations happens for all sorts of reasons. People most tweets, blogs, etc. to meet new like-minded people, to find true love, to build their self-esteem, or to be on the cutting edge of new ideas or trending topics. Yet others see social media as a way of making their message heard and positively impacting humanitarian causes, environmental problems, economic issues, or political debates. 3. Sharing - It is the block that defines the way users exchange, distribute, and receive content. The term "social" often implies that exchanges between people are crucial. In many cases, however, sociality is about the objects that mediate these ties between people - the reasons why they meet online and associate with each other. 4. Presence - This block represents the range to which users can know if other users are accessible. It includes knowing where others are, in the virtual world and/or in the real world, and whether they are available. 5.Relationships - The block that shows how the users can be related to other users. Two or more users have some form of association that leas them to converse, share objects of sociality, meet up, or simply just list each other as a friend or a fan. 6.Reputation - It characterizes the scope to which users can identify the standing of others, including themselves, in a social media setting. Reputation can have different meanings on social media platforms but in most cases, it is a matter of trust. Because information technologies are not yet good at determining such highly qualitative criteria, social media sites rely on 'mechanical Turks': tools that automatically aggregate user- generated information to determine trustworthiness. 7. Groups - It is the block that shows the range on how users can form communities and sub communities. The more 'social' a network becomes, the bigger the group of friends, followers, and contacts
