One of my friends she hate social media a lot, so far, she only has linkedin account, no facebook, no twitter, no pinterest.

I don’t have many, only facebook, pinterest, wordpress and of course my own website. So please feel free to add me if you like.

The reason why she hate social network is because she hate the idea of facebook which she think facebook actually breakdown communication.

Her rationale is how many friends on facebook are your friends who you will contact with, or what are you going to talk to each other when you’ve already had all the updates?

NO..no, I said, facebook help us to connect people who are living in another side of the globe. And we don’t want to miss any special moment when we are not physically there.

Also it help us to open our eyes to learn different things from different people effortlessly, particularly save you some money.

There are so many tips and technique avaliable online, and share between people who we don’t know each other on pinterest. So I can’t see why not.

However, on the other hand, privacy issue seems more complicated than 20 years ago. we have to be aware of information risk on the social media too.

I was reading an article online Managing Information Risk and Archiving Social Media, with the powerful turn over rate of tweeter. Any sensitive information are dangerous.

So..don’t make any complaint or releasing any information about work on the social media. You’ll never know the information may make you in a terrible situation in the future.

Social media is a powerful tool to test responses and check feedbacks from the public, it also help increase exposure of products or services.

Another feature of social network is its interactive nature in communcation. Nowaday, you will not have to go to school to learn new stuff, switch on youtube, and type in what you want to learn.

There are thousand of tutorials or sample demo to tell you what you need to know. And, just in case you are not sure about which button or the author speak too fast, you can give feedback or ask the author about your questions.

Communication has changed a lot over time, we need to pick up new stuff and new technology, but also pay attention to the potential risk.
