The trend in the means of communication has undergone a drastic change from what it used to be a few decades ago. Gone are the times when we would have to wait for months to know how our loved ones are doing. Today just at the press of a button, we can connect to anywhere around this world.Social networking has now become such an integral part of our lives that one gets jitters if he is not able to check his social networking pages. In this tech-savvy generation, one can never be alone because you always stay connected through your mobile. Social networking on the go or Mobile social networking is now part and parcel of our daily chores. We may not have the time to tell our parents about the day but our online friends would be the first one to get to know about it through our social networking pages. Earlier, mobile was meant only for making phone calls or moreover sending texts but now a phone is judged by the facilities it offers for social networking.
