  abstract = {A social network means a social structure made up of a group of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and the dyadic communication ties between these actors. The social network perspective provides a clear way of analyzing the structure of whole social entities. The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine network dynamics. Currently, social network activity owns the hottest topic in people’s social life. The real social network system belongs to the complex physics model and data-mining area. Social networks, like facebook.com, myspace.com and twitter.com, are realtime complex systems. Author tries to introduce a complex model [1] to predict the life cycle of the social network.},
