Today, social media is the fastest in terms of gaining popularity. In the digital world today, almost everyone uses the internet. Social media connects people from one side of the globe to the other side. It creates a bond even if two people are miles apart. We use online networking to express our feelings, mood and sometimes, even our deepest emotions. At times, it has become a way to relieve stress and relax. With social media, people can even play games with other who they don't even know. Nowadays, it is used even in marketing and advertising. Social networking, indeed, invaded the World Wide Web.
I remembered when Friendster, Facebook and Twitter emerged. I was a teenage girl that time. Internet was not my thing. However, my peers forced me to register. And so, I did. There came a time when I did not want to go elsewhere. I just wanted to stay in front of my computer. For me, social media that time was all about socializing. Making friends, liking their pictures, sharing their posts, retweeting other people's tweets. I never imagined that the business world can invade social media. I can always compare the internet scene today and it was six to eight years ago. Today, I can see a lot of advertising and marketing happening on Facebook and Twitter. Even companies have their accounts already because through social networking, they can easily reach out to their clients. Plus, it is free!
Through the years of using this wonderful discovery, I noticed the most of the account owners or managers were about my age. At present times, even my father who is turning 48 has already a Facebook account. My 10-year old cousin is also using Facebook already. A lot has changed in the online scene over the years.
I've read a lot of article that accounts should be handled by younger generations. Well, I believe that social media was created for all. It was made for everyone, for socializing and discovering a lot of aspects. There are advertisements that target the younger generations. Yet, there are also advertisements for the older ones. Marketers behind these advertisements are experts in marketing. A 50-year old marketer can always draw clients aging 25 years old or younger. He or she should just have knowledge about the younger generation - what they want and what they need. A 50-year old marketer is obviously more experienced than a 25-year old marketer.
Social media is for everyone. If young and old marketers work together, they will certainly learn from each other. After all, we can see all the generations in social media.
