Example of social media- facebook, twitter, myspace, friendster. The new way to socialize with my friends or any person outthere.
To me, social media is not only for socialize, today it becomes a very powerful tool that can ruins the world(believe me). As an example, there is a case in France, a woman in France created a group to raise money for her father’s business after bankruptcy plagued the company and the father committed suicide. She raised over 200,000 euros ($271,379) and used the money to pay the company’s employees their wages owed.
A controversial 'Breast Cancer Awareness' group started a phenomenon of status updates(facebook) describing the colour of a woman’s bra to remind women to get mammograms.
Support for natural disaster victims such as the Victorian Black Saturday survivors can be given via Facebook, and money can be donated to cancer charities via the 'North Wales Calendar Girls Raising Money for Cancer' group.
This show the power of social media where it can bring the effect to the community. Same phenomenon we can see here in our country, where it transform the politic wave in Malaysia. The power of blog, facebook (examples of social media) is changing the way the community see the world. (Im not pro-government, or anti-government here, but this is the FACT).
It means the freedom to talk by everyone.
As a conclusion, to me social media brings a lot of different from 10-15 years ago. Where the traditional media seems conquering the world. But nowadays, we have alternative media, to see the darkness of the goodness or the see the light in the dark. Yes, it is very powerful.

Yes... and internet also is the fastest way to make a donation to people who need them. like the victim of earthquakes in Haiti.
I'm so agree with you. Everyone need to accept every word that have been write in a blog. Because from there, we will knew about the people looks about us. And from there we can change ourselves.
This is one of the way to talk and discuss about any topic and can give an opinion from ourselves.
I couldn't agree more on it being a powerful tool, that it is. There's many ways consumers utilize the Internet in many different ways. Some could be considered as malicious and some would be purely for good will.
It is free speech after all. You wouldn't be trampled if you're probably wrong. They'll just go against you verbally.
Yeah, like what we usually said, the internet have no boundries. We, ourself must know how to control, how to use it.
yeah..
you are right. the internet is a very powerful tool. i can do what ever i want. it really connect us around the world. but the most thing is, i can share thoughts and get the info i needed.
