ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, love through social networking site is not very relevant matter. This is because when we know someone through a social networking site, we do not know if the information given is true. Likely, we may be deceived by the individual. But that is not wrong to try to find love in the social networking site. But should we investigate in detail about the individual...(AZLIA)

ReplyDeleteNo action that could prevent the occurrence of fraud in the social networking site but prevent it self. although there were various efforts made by the government but that all should be taken into consideration seriously.I was impressed with the title and your efforts but you have to prove to us by producing the best DST and make sure you could beat us, but we will not admit defeat easily. :)

ReplyDeleteHi,For me..people who love through social networking especially facebook will more involve in social problem.. Why i said that? It is because if we really want to know our future husband and wife you should know better that person instead of chatting, then you fall in love? probably, someone that you trust on facebook will cheating about themselves.my advise, don't simply trust people without knowing them.
