The evolution of Web 2.0 has enabled us to converse with millions of people around the globe. With the touch of a button, we can instantly connect with someone in Japan, Iceland, or anyone in between. This is an incredible feat considering before the explosion of instant messaging, it would have taken weeks to carry on the same conversation via traditional mail.
We are able to make aquantences, friends and business partners online, and speak with them without ever leaving our homes of offices. This proves especially convenient for corporations because it is economical and time-saving. These businesses no longer need to fly across country in order to discuss plans, and can make decisions with their partners online much quicker than meeting in person.
However, not all business owners are interested in using social media networking to benefit their organizations. This may be because they are unsure of how to manipulate their resources. Constant Contact is a website that provides operators with advise on promoting their business online. There are many networking options available, including Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and Webinars. This site talks an owner through setting up these accounts and gives tips regarding their usefullness.
Content Manager is another useful website which highlights the benefits of utilizing technology in a corporate environment.
I am of the opinion that the internet is a valuable resource for both professional and personal gain, and with the proper training I believe that everyone can benefit from it.
Now, I ask, if you can use social networking to create a more successful business, why wouldn't you?

Mel,
ReplyDeleteI like your take on global communication. Yes the Information highway has connected us all. I can remember waiting for weeks just to receive a letter from a friend who is on the other side of the globe. Now all I have to do is send an instant message or email. Not only are we making friends all over the world, but now some underprivileged children in some poor countries have access to qualified educators via online.
I can’t help but agree with Sue Teresa Tan, “that the world has gotten smaller and communication is more effective and efficient. http://www.ehow.com/how_5192697_communicate-globally.html
We have to accept the fact that the internet is more beneficial than detrimental.
