Many researchers have been diving into a considerable amount of research on social media influences. In this paper are presented and analyzed the results from surveyed data collected from one year experience with social network online community www.emama.mk. In order to discover the users´ preferences of the system and to make a list of priorities for the future, we performed this quantitative study. In this regard, it was important to pay attention to users´ opinion in order to obtain some witty conclusions. For this purpose a survey with closed questions about the system efficiency was performed. The survey results revealed a number of notable findings and future developments.
