Today in class we went to hear a couple of presentations about marketing and economic. The first presentation was about how the social media is used in companies today. We know that social medias, such as Twitter and Facebook is highly used for personal stuff, but it getting more and more used by companies, and this is what the presentation was about.
The reason companies have started using social media is that people no longer only want to take in information through commercials and ads, but want to interact with the company and have the opportunity to contact them easy via social media. In addition their customers can also get constant updates from the company.
But when you as an individual and companies use these social media, you have to be careful as well. You have to be careful about what you post, and what you write about yourself on you page. This is topics that have been a problem for many people, and many of them are trying to make their pages safer for people. When you post something on Facebook, you have to be careful about what you are saying, and according to the woman having the presentation, people have lost their job because they wrote something racist or inappropriate on their page.So the social media is good for bringing out messages fast, and it’s easy to communicate with friends, family and even companies. It’s also good too bring out news or other messages fast, but you have to be careful when using them, as you never know who read your posts or check out your profile.
You are correct, you have to be careful with what you write on the internet. It is a good rule that whatever you write or say, it has to be something anyone could read or hear. If you are afraid certain people might read it, don't post it!
