Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin... the list is endless and its something no one can escape from anymore because it has literally taken over the world! I will openly admit I am addicted to Social Media. I cant even go ten minutes without checking my Twitter account at least fifty times (and im not exaggerating) to see the latest TOWIE v MIC updates.
It has become very apparent to me recently that Social Media can serve a purpose to almost anyone. Whether it be for business or pleasure these sites are becoming extremely powerful in the outcome they are able to produce. And with such a mass audience its no wonder really.
Not only can these social networking sites be used to tell our public what we may have for breakfast, lunch and dinner today, but are also able to provide a brilliant tool to the industry by allowing us to reach our target audiences and commuicate with them at such ease, having a massive impact on Reality TV, Businesses and the Media as a whole.
So what has happened to us all? Have we all become so socially retarded that we now find it easier to express ourselves through our glass screens to hundreds of random followers rather than just have a good old fashioned face to face conversation? Or is it just that modern society has become even lazier than we already feared?
Im really interested to hear what people views are on this topic as its something i'm going to be researching much more deeply over the next few months. Do we think Social Media is having a postive effect on PR? Is something that can be used as tool to enhance our knowledge or could it actually weaken the effects of PR and in longterm make the industry useless?
Please let me know what you think. Im going to be discussing the relationship between Reality TV and PR tomorrow and the effects Social Media is having on this new TV...
