Abstract
Facebook is one of the largest socializing networks nowadays, gathering among his users a whole array of persons from all over the world, with a diversified background, culture, opinions, age and so on. Here is the meeting point for friends (both real and virtual), acquaintances, colleagues, team-mates, class-mates, co-workers, etc. Also, here is the land where the information is spreading so fast and where you can easily exchange your opinions, feelings, traveling informations, ideas, etc. But what happens when one is reading the news feed or is seeing his Facebook friends’ photos? Is he thrilled, excited? Is he feeling that the life is good? Or contrary: he is feeling lonely, isolated? Is he doing a comparison with his friends? These are some of the questions this paper in trying to answer and shaping some of these relationships, the grey system theory will be used.
