At that limitless «agora», vertical relationships are arised in the horizontal and egalitarian social media process, users distinguish between authoritative and insolvent opinion, they recognize the social authority and they opt for one or another opinion leaders. Social media publicize all voices simultaneously without distinction and join with traditional media keeping entertainment culture. This relational power has facilitated the use of Internet to call activities, encourage activism, agitation and citizen participation
