The lovechild of the World Wide Web is social media, which comes in many forms, including blogs, forums, business networks, photo-sharing platforms, social gaming, microblogs, chat apps, and last but not least social networks.

An estimated 650 million of these users are expected to be from China alone and approximately a third of a million from India.
