Social Media 2

     I am writing about businesses and their use of social media. Many businesses decided to create pages online on websites like Facebook and Twitter because their competition had a social networking site for their company. Most businesses did not think twice about what these social networking sites could actually do or should do to benefit their business. Eventually businesses started to find people who could better market their company. The people that these businesses found started to fully utilize these social networking sites that had been previously used for such things as keep online versions of company material which was also accessible in house as well. Most companies today are taking full advantage of social media and all of its capacities. Some companies allow people to get updates from their social networking sites in the comfort of their own home instead of having to stop by the company.

     Every company has their own needs and goals. Not every company is appealing to the same audience. Sometimes companies may try to model their marketing strategy on their competitor but they may not be appealing to the same crowd as your company. They may not be sending the same message as you either. Modeling your companies social networking site toward another companies social networking site is not always the best and or smartest thing to do. Social media in the business world is key. When you learn how to use it effectively it can be the difference between your company making money or declaring bankruptcy.

Social Media

I am writing about the effects of social media in society today. As of late social media has become the cornerstone of communication just about everyone but mostly young people. It is a way for them to connect to the world and each other. They are able to do this through sites like Facebook, Twitter and once upon a time Myspace. These kinds of social media can be harm to this generation because it is all this generation knows. When they think communication they think Facebook or Twitter. Most kids today prefer communication through Facebook or Twitter rather than face to face conversations. Social Media also has its positives. Some of the positive things social media has done for society is make advertising much more simpler. Twitter also people to develop a skill which is getting out a message in one hundred and forty words. This forces people to learn how to be concise and get straight to the point. A person can post on a site and get their message out ten times faster than they can sending a letter for example. There is  always the argument that social media allows a person to connect with someone who is not nearby. In my opinion I think social media is a great thing and has positively impacted the way we communicate. It has made things a whole lot simpler and easier for everyone in society. Social media, although it as its down sides is still one of the better changes or additions to society.
