It’s a Social World

Social Media has taken the world by storm and we all know that it is only going to get bigger. We as humans are ‘nosey’ and as much as we deny it most of us like a good gossip. Saying that, this is what keeps adding fuel to the raging fire that is Social Media. People love to be connected to everything and know what is happening all the time. This is amplified when talking about people you know and letting them know what you are doing.


With Facebook and Twitter (the two big dogs in my eyes) you have the ability to literally stay connected to everyone all the time, and with Smart devices and the like you can stay connected on the move. News nowadays spreads faster over social media platforms like twitter than actual news sites and stations are able to report it. It has become an information highway and I can safely say myself that I spend hours on the internet a week and if it’s not reading up on favourite sites (internet marketing), it’s on social media sites. And I am not just talking about Facebook and twitter, its Youtube, Stumbleupon, Google+, (which all help seo as well) and host of other sites that keep me busy for all that time.

Gaming has always been primarily a world for males and no one would argue that, but Social media gaming has largely seen a consumer base of women. Playing games such as Farmville and angry birds, the woman of the online world have been showing that they love to game just as much as the next guy.

Now Facebook has its timeline letting people what they were doing along their life on the social media site. This is just another way that social networks are looking to keep us hooked and I can see no reason why it will pass. Those who thought that it was just a phase well that has all changed. People are scrambling to social media sites and digital agencies and pushing them to get in a game that they never even realised was going on. It’s never too late to get on the train, so if you are not in the game I would advise you do so….NOW!
