How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business

Socialnomics: How social media transforms the way we live and do business


I used to think Social Media such as Facebook was wasting time. Therefore, for many years, I had been passive with Facebook. Until after receiving many friend requests for joining, I finally joined the Facebook.

Now, I find myself hooked on Facebook. I checked into Facebook whenever and wherever I can. Reading friends posts and interesting tips. More interesting was many people read my posts as well. It's like I am meeting them everyday in person even though they may travel somewhere in the world.

Many people said they could tell if I was traveling in China even if I did not inform them. As I would not be able to reply to any posts or post anything since China would block me from using the Facebook.

Facebook really changed the way I live and communicate with my friends. It also helped me to get closer to my friends and relatives. Instead of sending emails to my friends, I post on their walls.

I feel I am always surrounded by my friends. Because my FB friends know if I am happy or unhappy, busy or not busy, traveling or not traveling. They laugh, I laugh; They cry and I cry too. -:) I know where to find them on weekends.

While other people have their own favorite online social media community my favorite one is Facebook at this point.

More importantly, I don't feel  I am wasting time on Facebook any more. Facebook is part of my life now. Imagine few years from now, I probably will think what my life will be without Facebook, iPhone.
