Awareness about Social Media

Before a couple of days, a seminar was conducted by the collaboration of department of Mass communication and few of our class mates about the "Social Media".This lecture was highly appreciated by the students, which was presented by RJ Kulsome and Muhammad Abdullah. It was very informative and over all it was successful too.
As awareness of social media is growing day by day all over the world. The advent of social media brings so many changes in our life. And this media could  possible to bring revolution in Tunisia, where people were facing dictatorship from more than 20yrs.
We came to know by this effective lecture that face book is the 3rd world largest country.While Google is the 1st and you tube is considered the 2nd most using social network according to the statistic of US. And this is face book which is the cause of traffic.
Twitter,Google, Blogging, Facebook and my space etc has now changed the way of our thinking.
We are using Social Media to create events, complain, celebrate, appreciate, mourn and sharing of thoughts etc..
Md Abdullah said rightly that before Face book nobody have asked us "Words on your mind" like face book.:)
According to statistic for Pakistan:
  •       You tube 1st most using search engine in Pakistan. (Social network)
  •       Twitter 9th
  •       Word press 11th
  •       Stumble upon 16th.

Now social media for activism is also using for different kind of fund raising and the welfare of society. But the most important thing is the use of this tool, which we never consider important while using any medium of media before.We should use this for the betterment of society..Not for creating panic and disorder ness. As it is all about to take initiate. How do we do and what? depends on us.But we can do it"

  1. Youtube is a search Engine?, surely it is a search engine but isn't it just for video searching & it is only limited to what videos it has uploaded on its server. Those aren't even search engines. Just saying. I am not an expert in mass communication, but I'm unaware of these terms being used for these services.

  2. We know it goes without saying but Sobia i think you'll also have to write an awful lot of articles if you decide to make Journalism your major and you liked. This is true even if you ultimately want to work in different platform like radio or television. If you don't enjoy writing, you probably won't like Journalism very much. Finally, take note: at universities with elite Journalism programs, time-consuming weed-out courses abound and you must be formally accepted into the Journalism program, which can be ridiculously difficult and competitive.I have no more knowledge about this but i thought its so important for your subject or your topic.
