 I kept looking for the ExtractSocialInfo over internet , unfrotunately there was not much.

 

 Anyways after a little more digging , i found out that there are errors in the ULS Logs regarding the user profile service. 

 

 So Finally i Found the aforementioned error message means that there are corrupted GUIDs in the user profile service application.

 

 Solution

 ======

 Create a new user profile service
