What is Social Media ?

Social Media are websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking in real-time. Here are some of the top few social media platforms in Singapore – WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram,  LinkedIn and many more.

Social media have grown so much over the years. It have become a platform that not only share personal content, companies have join on the band wager and share company promotions and content as well. These sharing of photos, opinions, events in real time has transformed the way we live and also the way we do business.

Let me share with you some of the Pros and Cons of Social Media.

Firstly, we can also see the power of social media and how social media can help us and our company to grow. By having a wider exposure to different users in the world. Companies and users are able to share content and information that will be easier accessible. This help in gaining interactions with different people, which will lead to messaging on social media platforms which can lead to face-to-face appointments and interactions.

In addition, social media help to reduce loneliness for people. As you are able to share your personal life at the same, you are able to stay connected with your friends life, when they update their social media platforms. This apply the same way for company as well, they will need to stay active on social media, in order for it to gain attention.

Last but not least, as social media grows, we need to take note of the things we put on social media. As it is an online platform, social media posts cannot be entirely deleted. Be careful of the things you post on social media, as user and companies are able to share any posts and photos.
As Criminals can use social media to commit and promote crimes. Over access of social media might not be a good idea, it will make they feel disconnected with the world. Furthermore, social media are open to everyone, anyone can use information that are on the platforms easily. Users might get offended by things you post.
