Why Social Media is Important for Your Business?

Social Media has changed the world. It turned the web to its next level. It changed the way we live, just like when mobile phones invaded our lives. Before, almost every human being has his own mobile phone. And this made business marketers think of a marketing strategy focused on mobile technology.

10 Signs of Social Media Addiction

10 Signs of Social Media Addiction - Bend the Web

Last April 4, I published a blog post here about social media addiction. In that post, I asked you if you’re addicted to social media. I also talked about the positive and negative effects of this addiction. And if you still don’t know if you’re addicted to social media, we may help you to answer that.

Here are the 10 Signs of Social Media Addiction:

1. It’s meal time but you’re still in front of Facebook.

2. You don’t want to sleep yet even it’s already 2:00 am because you’re still playing Mafia Wars and FarmVille.

3. You love having many friends in Facebook and followers in Twitter instead if having more friends in real life.

4. You want to chat with your friends via social networking sites or IM services than just visiting them on their houses.

5. You want to adopt a pet not for your home but for your Pet Society or PetVille game.

6. You twittered your accomplishments (like you passed an exam or you got a job) long before your friends and family found out.

7. You know the headlines of your friends’ status updates but not the headlines of TV news.

8. You talk comfortably to people in your chat list even you don’t really know them.

9. In real conversations, you started saying acronyms like L-O-L and O-M-G instead of just laughing out load and saying “Oh my gosh”.

10. Your goal this summer vacation is to have a lot of friends and followers instead of having instead of having quality time with your real friends and family.

Now, ask yourself. Are you addicted to social media?

Social media like Facebook and Twitter is really addicting. In Facebook, you don’t have to go out from your house to mingle with your friends, because Facebook has a chat feature where you can chat with all your friends. In Twitter, you don’t have to be a famous celebrity just to have lots of followers, because in Twitter, if you follow many people, then you’ll definitely have lots of followers too. Social media like Facebook and Twitter really captured our lives. But, should we be worried about this?

And of course, social media entertains us. It is fun indeed. But if we’re too much depending to social media, negative effects of it can make our lives miserable.
