Social Media - Info N-O-W

Being connected today means many things to many people. 
  • To seniors, surfing the web and e-mail is a fun way to keep up with the times. 
  • Students Facebook each other, posting pictures and comments on their day-to-day goings on. Texting and IMing via Facebook or Twitter is a more "real time" connection.
  • Professionals share information within their respective fields via newsgroups and contacts are made via LinkedIn
But as technology evolves and "speeds up", so do the myriad of ways we can now communicate and access the web. And today - with mobile devices - you can connect anywhere!

These are the more "active" connectors of today:
  • Texting
  • Twitter (microblogging)
  • IM (Instant Messaging)
  • Facebook (Posting & Instant Messaging)
  • Chat Rooms
  • Social Bookmarking
  • Content Sharing
  • Social Opinion
  • YouTube
These invite input. What do you think of the new 30" TV? Tell Epinion! What sort of perfect vacation or dream house do you like to visualize? Put it on Pinterest. Want to figure out the best time for a family reunion? Create and share a Google Doc Calendar.

Who would have ever envisioned real time online gaming - distance or virtual gaming? Or how about online dating? Or becoming famous thru YouTube?

So - Go Ahead! Jump online and connect. There's probably a new way to do it everyday!
Here's just a few:
Facebook                                            Chat with just about ANYONE!
Epinions - Real Reviews                    Pinterest
free online games                               Twitter
