Social Media has not had its hey day!!! Not only can you speak to relatives and friends far away, but you are able to Skype them into your living room. So Social media hey day is heating up ;)!! The potential of and the demand for these social networking sites remains infinite.

Social media has its positive and negative attributes like anything else. Its major drawbacks stems from easy access to the world wide web and people’s personal information. The fact that you can chat, make friends, play games with others from around the globe is not only amazing, but magical. The drawback here is bad,mean people are also online. Sometimes, there is no telling who is who. You go on, and just hope for the best!

However,when social media is correctly used, it affords us a broad and varied spectrum of services such as online teaching and learning, shopping,and movies/theater. Nowadays, you really don’t have to leave your home to accomplish many of your daily tasks. With the flick of a button, you have arrived at your destination through a link or intended site.

I think this article sums up how beneficial social media can be when the author states,…”you need to have a strategy in place that takes into account your strengths. Additionally it needs to have specific targets and goals, all driven by a tactical, yet strategical, plan. You need to have a way of measuring your social media marketing results and a means of fine-tuning them”. Because networking is key to a successful path in this day and age and social media is the medium that bridges that flow of data.
