Over the last few weeks going through the different modules I have learned the importance of using social media outlets. I have personal experience with this through my work with the use of blogs, wiki's, email, and etc., but I had never really considered it anything out of the ordinary. When reading the chapters and doing the homework, especially the assignment on my current employment. I realized that my company is trying to utilize the new business tools such as social media, blogs, wiki's, and etc. to try and expand their business. I think that going forward more businesses will take this approach because it is much more convenient and cost effective than older pen and paper approaches. I did not really consider Twitter in the same category as Facebook or some of the other social media tools. I had never used Twitter and anytime I heard anything about Twitter it was somebody famous either getting their account hacked or posting something they later regretted. After signing up and looking at what all can be posted I realized that it can be a usefull business tool. It gives followers the opportunity to get quick relevant updates including links for more details on certain post. I think that if used correctly this will appeal to a younger generation that is very interested in staying connected at all times. I do not think that I personally will be more active with the social media sites that we have gone over. I am not against the sites, but I just do not find it very interesting to read every detail of casual acquaintances lives. My personal view aside, from a business aspect I do think that it can be very useful. I will continue to use our social media tools that we have available to us at my current job and in my future employment.
