Social Media Touching Lives..

The World Wide Web was born in 1995 and two years later, news websites followed suit. But it was not until the mid-2000s that social media sites such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Digg and a dozen others were the trend. These social media sites are not just source of get-togetherness and hangout pit stops but they are also one’s virtual connection to just about anything under the sun. Think of the tremendous application social media offer.

1. Source of News:– In the past, we only regard sites such as CNN.com, usatoday.com and few other sites as our source of online news. With social media sites such as twitter, facebook.. we can now get our news all in one page. Just subscribe online news sites and link it to your twitter page and voila! You can have updates every time you click on your twitter page from all of these news sites that you had bookmarked.
    
2. Doing Business Online:- Before 2005, business models were highly traditional. Then came Amazon.com (totally shopping or Business Site), whose business pattern is imitated by hundreds of online business sites. Then came social media as a platform for businessmen. You may employ various online methods to promote your business site including social media sites. you can just link these social media sites with your website. What’s even better is that if you don’t want to buy your own domain, then you may use your blogger or Multiply account as a platform of your business on the Web.
    
3. Meeting Friends:- This is one of the safer way to meet new friends online – through social media groups. There’s virtually a group for everybody on Facebook for instance: there’s a group for Catholics, for hippies, for Russians, for naturists, even for UFO existence theorists.
