Social Media- Marilyn Loh

In the current world, social media does play a very important role in one's life. Being able to connect and communicate with one another virtually through the social media context does wonders as it saves time and also money. It facilitates conversations and interaction among the people throughout the country.

Twitter. Facebook. Myspace. These are all examples of social media, and I bet as soon as you hear these words, you can add at least another three sites to the list off the top of your head. Social Media is fun and it caught every one's attention. Thanks to social media, it's now so convenient to share our interest, photos, ideas, thoughts and what you like or dislike to the world. Thats not all, by using social media you can search for jobs, business partners and more. Do you believe that you can use facebook to spread your current business. How? Simple. If you already have a personal facebook account, create a Facebook Fan Page. There you go. It'll spread as fast as a thunder. Not only that, it saves cost too.

People tend to have the perception that social media is a ground where people socialise and connect but i feel that using social media we are able to practise good networking. It is known as an important networking tool. For business people, if they are able to use it wisely, it would lift them heaps and bounds. It is not only about sharing but also creating something for others to participate in.

How does media culture affects me?
I admit that media culture shot me right on my forehead. It definitely caught my attention. If it wasn't all these, I don't think I'll be able to contact my friends and family overseas. Plus, Facebook is awesome, because without it, I wouldn't remember half of my friends birthday, Great reminders.

Technology+Socialogy= SOCIAL MEDIA
