Theories on "flow", "motivation", and "charisma" were regularly drawn upon to explore this issue. In this study, a conceptual model of Social media community (named as "SCFlow") including of 1) the core values of the virtual community, 2) flow elements and 3) criteria of flow elements, will be used to develop model for measuring experiences of user enjoyment on virtual community in social media websites.
