Social Media On The Go

We all use it, we’ve heard all about it, and its become the biggest and most effective marketing machine in society today. Many will refer to social media from its products such as Facebook and Twitter. It’s a form of communication between people and has thus created a powerful community on the internet.

Now that Social Media has finally gone “mainstream”, companies alike are using the services more extensively. All due to the little gadget we all have in our hands, the Smartphone.

You can’t live without it, you can feel withdrawal if the wireless service decides to shit the bed on you and if you’re anything like me, feel panic the moment you forgot where you have placed that stupid phone.

I can now grab my phone, on the bus, and tell the world how messed up the guy sitting across from me is, or snap a pic of some beautiful lady and you wanted to share her with the world, and at the same time tell people how much of a creeper you are.

Social Media of course, isn’t what I just said, Social Media allows bloggers like myself or other writers to give an opinion, to reach out to the fans quickly and more directly the moment they receive the message on their phones. Basically, the worlds biggest bathroom wall, but on the go, where everyone’s a winner because everyone will read your opinion.

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics proved to be the height of Social Media covering the event. Party goers and tourists alike were able to pump out info on what the hell just happened with whomever. All done on their smartphone. Twitter literally blew up during those two weeks because everyone out there in the city had their phones out tweeting just about every little tidbit that was going on in that time on the corner of Granville and Robson.

Smartphones has re-invented the way we use our wireless devices and it will only move upwards. What do you guys think about the next big event this year? Will the World Cup be more enjoyable due to people because they can find out the latest news much easier due to Social Media? Has Social Media changed your life?
