Social networking has always been a great topic to talk about and in this world of science and technology; everybody even - Obama and Dr. Mahathir has been involved in social network site. The growing number of users in social media has caused the internet traffic to stay active!

My first social media was FRIENDSTER. Well I created one because it is a trend at that time. I find it weird on how people at that time use it as part of their daily interaction. People will not forget FRIENDSTER as it was popular during their era. However till now there are people still have their Friendster account. As for me, I can't remember my user ID and password, After Friendster then people start to shift to MYSPACE. It was a trend at that time especially for those who are into music. It connects musician from all around the world to let them share opinion and exchange ideas within their own people in the same industry. And now the latest that everyone has been talking about and in fact the most users is FACEBOOK and 2nd is TWITTER.

Social media is more than a buzzword. It's now a lifestyle decision for not only individual but companies too and with this new era that doesn't love and use social media anyway? Well everyone now that social media is pretty addicting, People, in fact me myself  will spend a lot of time searching on the web for articles and relevant news that related to what i felt funny or interesting to share and put on Facebook and Twitter sites.

When i first started using Facebook, I became obsessed with checking to see how many new friends or followers I would get - at a point I would be doing another task but every five seconds I wanted to click back over and see how many post on their Facebook or if there is anyone who add me. At one point Facebook was fun; every minute people would update their daily activity. It's either through pictures or words. Social media has created awareness for some people by giving information or providing information of what is happening around the world.

However, as time pass by, social media is an issue in most organizations because employees tend not to concentrate on their work but rather spend time "Face-booking" and this would definitely impact the staff’s productivity. Other than that, now it has become viral on how social media "power" towards the world. Stories spread, pictures gone wild and so on.

No matter how this social media has spread people will still use it. As it has become a part of our daily lives.
