Social media has become one of the phenomenon’s to be considered in studying media and society as the social media seems to be rising to be a new part of public area. Social media in a sense consists of a wide range of tools such as blogs, facebook, twitter, video sharing (e.g. YouTube), photo sharing 5 (e.g. Flickr), social networks, wikis, gaming, virtual worlds, text messaging,  videoconferencing, intranets, podcasts, PDAs, instant message chat, social event/calendar systems, social bookmarking, and news aggregation/RSS.
Basically social network sites are the sites that offer the infrastructure to make an open relationship, so the public’s can explore their personal network, and make new connections and establish new relationships. Notifying that youths today grow up with the Internet, it could be argued that social media is amongst their daily communication tools, be it for friendship, relationship, information, education, entertainment etc. The exploration of youths media use particularly usage of traditional mass media and social media seeks to illustrate the changing pattern of communication amongst Malaysian youths and how it is affecting their life.
