Abstract: Nowadays, especially Web 2.0 technologies have an important role on directing people's modern life. In this context, popular Web 2.0 technologies provide effective approaches to get or share information easily. Furthermore, social networking services also enable people to interact with others via different communication tools. Thus, social networking services employ e-communication environments to form a virtual, social interaction world. Because of these functions, they also allow people to take part in e-learning processes. Besides using the services deliberately for ensuring e-learning sessions, a long-rage e-learning process for everyone is also ensured. At this point, it is a critical subject to evaluate effects of these services from different perspectives. In this sense, this study provides a sociologic evaluation for effects of social networking caused e-learning to analyse sociologic results of a typical process. In order to provide accurate and consistent results, the study applies its research approach on only university students.
