Social Networking

Social media is an awesome way not only to communicate with each other or to entertain ourselves but also it can be used as a powerful tool to promote your company or to increase sales. For an ordinary user, it could be very useful to see offers from the favorite online stores while scrolling social media such as Facebook. It is the easiest way to learn that a new collection of clothing is out or there is a markdown at the furniture store. However, it could be very annoying as well, since most users are not eager to buy something constantly. Some Social Networking platforms created sections where people are selling/buying stuff. Let's take a look at Facebook Marketplace: it is very easy to manage, however, it can be really messy. Also, there is a risk to become a victim of crooks. According to Carrie Kerskie in the article Multi-Million Dollar Scam Being Used on Facebook, criminals like to go where there is an expectation of trust, and they that know when they're using marketplace or garage sales groups, people assume it's their neighbors who they are buying from or selling to.
Social Networking helped millions in starting businesses and promoting their product/service. It became an essential tool for each growing company. Article How to Build a Community on Social Media gave us an example that social media can be used to display the company's capabilities.

The future will bring us an even wider selection of ways social networking can be used. However, it is important to understand that great benefits will always come along with some downsides of it.

Next New

How much time do we spend while watching/reading the news? Probably more than 30 - 40 minutes daily! Some people spend hours! Can you imagine how awesome it would be if we have the option to absorb the news we are interested in within the seconds?! This new media will be arranging all news into the set of codes. Reading or watching those codes will take seconds, however, the information summarized in it will expand in our minds and will provide a complete and detailed picture of all the news we wanted to know. It will save a lot of time and will give us an ability to learn and be aware of much more information we never had time for.

Wiki So Far

Working on Wiki seems easier than it actually is. It took a while for me to understand how to navigate and edit or add dome information. I did not create any new pages. However, I spent time reading the content that already existed and thinking about my contribution. I noticed minor grammar mistakes and edited it. I added more information to Pinterest (Fashion) and Fingerlings (New Media In Toys). Also. I am planning to add more content to Fashion especially to the Makeup section. Also, I did not add any images yet, so in the next couple of days, I am going to work much more on Wiki.

Can you imagine all Social Media have the same interface, same content, same purpose, same target audience? It would be too boring! Can you imagine each online magazine has the same authors? No way!
