Exploring and Uncovering What Social Media Can Do For You
Just 50 years ago many people would miss out on world events due to poor communication.
Today, the world can be accessed anywhere at any time.
It makes no difference where you live; the development of technology allows you to tap instantly into the world.
Stick with us while exploring what social media is.
Communication barriers of every type have been broken down.
Social networking allows for individuals, groups and business to communicate in real time; from anywhere in the world.
If we were to categorize the types of social media it would fall into friendship, news and business to business sites.
Each of these are 'hubs' where people can go for up to date information on any possible topic or event.
As the months and years tick by most older forms of communication are becoming outmoded.
Newspapers, magazines and other forms of media are all moving to the web.
In the past when an event worth noting took place you would usually hear about it a day (or more) after it occurred.
Today, you can find out just about anything within seconds of it happening.
A popular type of media is about conveying short, concise messages to readers.
By using a computer or cell phone you can literally keep hundreds of people (even millions of people) up to date on your daily activities.
You can communicate instantly to people in Italy that you just closed a deal, while finishing lunch with the client in New York! As the online world grows another common problem is finding and sorting through the millions of websites.
There are online media points that can help people quickly locate websites by topic and popularity.
If you find a website that is the bomb; share it through a media website.
Within minutes your discovery will post and let millions of people know what they didn't know before! All without spending hours sifting through search engine pages looking for the information.
As events around the world begin to unfold, these networking cornerstones open the gate to instant access of information.
Over the last several years cell phone and internet presence has allowed your phone to become the 'computer' of the future.
By downloading a web based application on your phone, you have instant access to events and people anywhere in the world.
Media applications via your phone enable you to pass along information from your neighbor to millions of people if you choose.
You can find out the latest thought on a movie or learn about a concert taking place live in China! Since this can be done in real time you can use these tools for business or just for fun.
Exploring what social media is barely begins to scratch the surface as the internet changes the world's future.
