This paper tries to provide an insight on classification of existing social media and social networking sites main features. Then, we highlight that all social media and social networking features can be merged as one to construct a single social networking site to be accessed in a dashboard page view.

Thus, this research intends to determine most recent features needed in a social networking site to maximize its capabilities.
