Facebook will continue to gain momentum in Vietnam, with an increasing rate of adoption. This SNS will be a stand-alone platform that serves Vietnamese first need of socializing on the Net and should not be included as an alternative platform to Yahoo 360.

Please kindly take a look at the first 2 chapters of the thesis, which have been quite complete. This is mostly a 3-week work so it's not supposed to be fancy. The language is in Vietnamese though. For English speakers, I wish you knew our language!
