Is Social media just the latest thing or a shift for the industrial side of the world. Personally I think social media sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter is a complete waste of time, despite the fact that I have a facebook account myself. The fact is that now adays, everyone is at least on one social site. Personally, I'm on Facebook, Youtube, Wikia, and Blogger (rarely). The fact of the matter is that we, as people, want to reach out to others. This is where social media kicks in.
Not to mention that companies know this and use social media to promote their products to people. For example, if you like a tv show on Facebook, they will tell you when the next episode is coming, if the show got renew, premier date, and more. In addition to offering you exclusive informatio
n if you "Like: it. This aspect is in a way a good and bad thing. On the plus side its a good source of information. On the downside, it makes you relay on them to give you it. Further more, constantly posting updates. The good thing is that you can turn off the notifications off, at least Facebook realize that some people don't tons of stuff on their page. As for youtube, companies are now creating their own Youtube channels to promote their products. People even post stupid videos about themselves. In a way, Youtube is similar to Facebook other than the fact its more geared towards video rather "I ate soup today. It was yummy. :D".I could rant on about how much I dislike it, but the fact is, its a part of my life, and a way to connect. Also, I recently have discovered that fans can follow their favorite celebs on Facebook or Twitter. Although, some leave creepy messages about how much they love him or her. One word for them: Creepy. I know you love them, but don't scream it at them, their people too, and it borderline weird. So my friendly advice for you all, use social media wisely, and don't live your life on it. Later Days.
