Someone on Twitter asked this question a few months back regarding Social Media, and since this Sunday is Social Media Day, I will ask you guys this. What are the positive attributes to Social Media? I want to hear your thoughts. If you're wondering what Social Media Day is all about, here's a link to read all about it: http://mashable.com/smday/
Someone should pay Google for an ad that links directly to a badly written article that tells 15 people on the internet how bad Manish is. Dude would be ashamed.
What is social media good for? Well, for me is seems to be about getting bad new. If I weren't on the site then I wouldn't have found out a lot of stuff that is pretty crucial. It is pretty sad people only communicate through the sites now though..
Working in marketing, I'd say social media is great for building communities around brands. On a personal level it's a great way to create a bespoke information source that caters to your specific needs and preferences.
I don't know about that, apparently some people get off on demonstrating to large groups of people what complete dicks they are.
