The Do’s and Don’ts Of Social Media
I have been seeing and using social media since I can remember.
Through social media people interact with each other, talking about various things, giving their opinions, criticisms, complaints and mainly just taking out contentment or frustrations whatsoever.
I have concluded some Do’s and Don’ts of the social media. Let me know if you relate to them.
The Do’s
- Using it for businesses. While some people use it for business purposes and marketing their product, they also use it to promote themselves like actors, celebrities. A nice way to get more famous as well as interacting with your fans and followers.
- Helping others to achieve their goals by inspiring and motivating articles via blogs, newspapers and magazines. Informing and encouraging people to know what they want and how they will achieve it.
First there was Orkut in which people use to write walls and wait for others to reply. You could add pictures and your friends can see them. Start a topic and invite people to share their views for a discussion. This was the only past time back in those days. I remember creating an account and sharing my views with the world.
Recently you must have received sms messages or emails saying: Sign a Petition to stop the recent burning of the Quran. Or join this page or that website that is condemning this act. And let’s hold a rally to stop this. Maybe all of this made you stop and think about the recent incident that caused a commotion universally as well as in the Muslim world. This was the incident of Pastor Terry Jones announcing the desecration of the Quran in Gainsville, Florida as retaliation to the Islamic Mosque being built on the site of 9/11.
I still remember the time when there was only one TV channel in Pakistan. In those days (early 90’s) there was not much content to show on TV but at that time less content provided quality. People use to go for work and return home early to spend some time with the family. It was a set routine for almost everyone. Whole family use to watch 8’o clock drama, drama which always had some lesson in it. After that there was 9’o click news and then people use to sleep early because at that time people were more committed with their work.
Social media has become a driving force behind many of our lives. With an ever increasing user base many people have begun to find themselves utilizing social media applications like Twitter and Facebook on a more then regular basis. How can we know if our use of these sites has become something more then normal? If you find yourself agreeing with these signs, then you may just be addicted to social media. So, here they are.
Technology is increasing day by day with an exponential rate and with that it is becoming necessary to move on with the technology. From my childhood I had a habit of digging into every new technology so it started with Hotmail when I created an account on it. Then came Yahoo and I made an account on that also recently with the popularity of Gmail I also made an account on it. So from time to time I made various accounts on Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail because there was lot of info on the internet so it was becoming difficult for me to store all of that in a single email account.
