In order to integrate research in the field of study were regularly analysed the various interactions of the institution and the clients in the Web 2.0, in this case the Facebook official page of the institution and the pages the aggregated pages of the same social network that can assume the same role of direct contact of the institutional image with the clients and users. So, the observation was carried out for two working weeks, in other words, five days in a week from Monday to Friday from the last week of May 2017 (22nd to 26th) to the first week of June 2017 (5th to 9th).
