A lot of the older people I meet go online to find information on a particular topic or send emails. They still trust online newspapers and corporate websites more than they trust blogs. A lot of them also avoid social networks because of lack of privacy. In contras, young people use social media to share their pictures and videos, to blog about their dreams and passion, to share their ideas and to - often openly - communicate. In other words, they go online to show themselves off to the rest of the world. Now, when organizations and marketers enter social media and social networks, potential employers and college professors come along with them. Now, those who were freely communicating and sharing all that information about themselves can no longer do so. So, should organizations use social media and social networks as their marketing tools? Sure - this is where their audiences reside! But they also must be very careful not to interfere with the conversations unfolding online and not to intrude their audience's virtual but still private lives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011853881951938235noreply@blogger.com
