After working on few social media pages for myself and clients, this question still arises. You can say that Social Media is about connecting, its about re-connecting, its about interacting, its about taking action, its about all this stuff. But what is it really about?
From my own perspective, Social Media is just too big to understand. It is the collective thoughts, emotions, memories, and interactions of almost every modern human being. Once your post goes on this social media sphere, almost everyone in your cloud can see it.
Most of us know what the personal aspects are in Social Media. The common Facebook wall phrase, "OMG I haven't seen you since graduation in 1996!!!!" happens to appear a lot. Well 1996 is a long time ago and most likely you'll never see that person again, EVER. Past the awkward moments and nonsense being posted on people's profiles, the personalities have really started coming out as of recently. The greatest achievement of Social Media is that people are finally being themselves on the internet. For this reason alone is why I see people so involved in Social Media.
