Social Media Marketing Strategy - Video
Social media has become an integral part of our lives, taking over 90 per cent of our time on a daily basis. Although, it can be good and bad for society, I personally do not like it. Nothing is more annoying than trying to talk to someone, while he or she is busy updating his or her Facebook status or checking their newsfeed.
Social media is ruining relationships, and we are getting further away from face-to-face interaction. In a family, everyone has a phone and family members hardly talk to each other, instead each and everyone is more concerned about updating their status or uploading pictures than actually paying attention. This is an alarming issue as it can become a cause for concern in terms of our safety.
Social media takes away our privacy and for a person like me, i do not want others to interfere in my personal life, nor do I want to interfere in others personal matters. It is supposed to be a fun platform, but to me it is more like a curse that is depriving people from human interaction. People no longer visit each other, and rather depend on online interaction.
I am not against social media as a platform to voice your opinion, but if it is taking over our lives, it has gone too far. Everything that crosses a certain line, can never be good and that is the case with social networking sites as it has become part of peoples priorities.
We have become social animals, but the truth is that we need human interaction and at the end of the day, if youre in pain, Facebook is not going to be the shoulder that you can cry on, nor will it wipe away your tears.

Although social media has a very broad definition. as websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking, the first thing that comes to our mind when thinking of it is either Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or some other online forum.
Without having to think twice, we can agree that yes, we do spend most of our time browsing on social media. Howoever, the downfall of it is that it is limiting our human interaction more and more. But, these sites can also be an advantage depending on how it is used. It is beneficial in many ways in the sense that any information can be communicated from one person to the entire world within a minute.
It is a platform where you do not need to know how to write in a flowery language nor do you need to be a writer to express yourself and share your views on social media. It has also proved to be very beneficial when raising issues in the community, and an example of this is the flood victims of Srinagar in which people from all around India united using social media to raise awareness and help the victims.
Similarly, it is helping job seekers in their quest of finding a job as well as companies looking for new employees via sites such as Linkedin or different online HR forums. It is more effective than traiditional ways of looking for jobs in the sense that you can directly apply for the job and in return, companies can directly source the candidates by looking at their profiles. These sites can also be used for referral check, so it is important that you are careful about what you say and share online.
Lets look at the other side of the coin. The first and foremost being the fact that people waste a lot of time on these social networking sites. While I do agree that these sites help people keep in touch with each other, it is also isolating us from the outer world, and decreasing our face-to-face interactions.

Making and keeping connections always been important to Molly Driscoll.
Connections make our lives meaningful and propel us to the next step, she said.
It is a belief that led Driscoll, along with her sister, Kathie to launch Selective Connections, their Glencoe- and Chicago-based social networking club for married and single professionals.
As you get older, its harder to find people who want to do what you want to do and get together when you are available, said Kathie, who works as a controller in the computer software industry. People have families and constraints and theyre busy, but they still want to get out and connect socially in order to have a fulfilling life.
Selective Connections, which the two launched this month offers its members a way to connect, both online and in person in eight different areas of life: entertainment and life; adventure, foodie, business, relationship, health and fitness, travel, shopping and volunteering.
Were connecting people with the purpose of just getting out, meeting new people and just enjoying and experiencing life, said Molly, who works in nurse management at a Chicago hospital. If love and dating happen, thats great, but this is so much more. Instead of waiting for that to happen, youre going out and living your life.
My passion is getting out of my comfort zone, Kathie said. Just since weve started, Ive tried so many new things Id never have done on my own. Were providing our members with planned activities and people to go with who have similar interests and goals.
Planned events include fitness classes, cooking classes, happy hours, business networking events, a winery tour, volunteer work, travel around the world, concerts, lectures and a lakefront cruise.
Both Molly and Kathie are divorced, and said it was important to them to make their club not only exclusive, but safe, as well.
Being a divorced woman, there have been situations I didnt care to be part ofcertain dating sites, said Molly. Here, every member is required to post a video introduction, and we do a background check before they are accepted.
