The World Wide Web was born in 1995 and two years later, news websites followed suit. But it was not until the mid-2000s that social media sites such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Digg and a dozen others were the trend. These social media sites are not just source of get-togetherness and hangout pit stops but they are also one’s virtual connection to just about anything under the sun. Think of the tremendous application social media offer.

1. Source of News – In the past, we only regard sites such as CNN.com and usatoday.com as our source of online news. With social media sites such as twitter, we can now get our news all in one page. Just subscribe online news sites and link it to your twitter page and voila! You can have updates every time you click on your twitter page from all of these news sites that you had bookmarked.

2. Doing Business Online – Before 2005, business models were highly traditional. Then came Amazon.com, whose business pattern is imitated by hundreds of online business sites. Then came social media as a platform for businessmen. Simple yet cost-effective. If you don’t have that much capital, all you need to do is link your business site to other websites. You may employ various online methods too to promote your business site. What’s even better is that if you don’t want to buy your own domain, then you may use your blogger or Multiply account as a platform of your business on the Web.

3. Meeting Friends - It’s really a pleasure to meet new friends online, learn and chat with them. But the best and safer way to gain lots of friends online is through social media groups in which you can have access to their real profile. This is practically a group for everyone like for example Facebook; there is a group category for Catholics, Hippies, Russians, Naturist and even UFO existence theorist.
