Abstract :
Behaviour of students on social networks is very interesting subject to explore. Services such as social networks offer various possibilities of interaction - chats, news, emails or forums. We made a questionnaire survey for comparison of social networks utilization with students of the Faculty of Economics and Administration at the University of Pardubice. The survey was aimed on using specific types of web services that are most frequently visited worldwide and locally in Czech Republic. We made classification of some attributes into scales. Evaluation of the survey was made to discover correlation between each attributes. Then we made cluster analysis to show the differences of using some chosen application for social networking within the students. Results show possibility to use social network as a base or one of tool for e-learning at universities.
