Social networks make people less social ! Is that true?!

People used to need to go out with their friends to find out about their lives but now they can find out from their computer screen without any real human contact or conversation. People no longer need to be able to communicate properly with others due to the fact that the internet is doing it for them. And also the ability to use internet phones to check social media sights has turned places like coffee shops and cafes into non social areas. Instead of approaching strangers to be entertained in new situations people are just pulling out their phones and checking their social media so that they can feel connected to others without actually being connected to others.

Actually we can notice this trend in our daily life. For example when I meet up with my friends in a place or to have dinner together and after saying hi and the usual stuff we used to say everyone switch to his/her phone and start exploring, tweeting, posting selfies and doing the check-in thingy. So I always ask myself the same question, why we are here then? am I supposed to get out of my home and drive my car just to see you holding your phones, is that right I mean? so yeah the social media is now affecting our way of thinking and it changed a lot of habits we used to have.

So what I want to say is try to balance between the virtual life and your real life and nothing beats communicating with people in real life, so be more social in reality not on social media. And yesterday I was watching a debate related to my article so don't forget to click on the link and enjoy it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCG8GyAFHT8)

Privacy issues with social media !

Everyone on this planet should be aware when it comes to entering the Social Media for the first time, because some people they're sharing everything on social media without knowing the outcomes of that and it may strikes them back in the future.
And after I did my own spamming on the internet I found this article for you to know more about some downsides of using the Social media.

Social networking sites can make life easier for spammers and stalkers

Another potential downside of social networking sites is that they allow others to know a person’s contact information, interests, habits, and whereabouts. Consequences of sharing this information can range from the relatively harmless but annoying—such as an increase in spam—to the potentially deadly—such as stalking.
While the vast majority of people using social networking sites do not pose a threat, malicious people may be drawn to them because of the accessibility and amount of personal information available on them.
Criminals can use information provided about a person’s birthday, location, routine, hobbies, and interests to impersonate a trusted friend or convince the unsuspecting that they have the authority to access personal or financial data. They can even use such info to guess your account passwords—which is why you should never have a password that uses the name of your pet, favorite band, hobby, birthday, or something else easily known about you. And stalkers will really appreciate your help if you post your daily routine and whereabouts online!
So, when deciding whether to post something, remember that the more information malicious people have about you, the easier it is for them to take advantage of you.

The Massive migration from facebook to twitter !

First I would like to talk about one of the latest trends in Social Media which is all about the Massive migration we see from people who are moving from being facebook-aholics to Twitter-aholics.
The reason why I used this term is that I was one of those ones who moved to twitter, and of course I have my reason, as I'm studying in CEPS, SQU, many of the students here are using twitter to communicate with each other, ask for any help in college courses and Obtain important information, this tempted me to join them to help and be helped.

So I basically moved to twitter because I thought moving to it is a must as it will make our college life much easier than before especially when it comes to asking about good instructors to take with before any semester.

In the other hand, people are now using twitter cuz they think its some kind of a fashion trend or something similar, and those silly minds should first care about why they're using it and just stop rushing in.

And I went through many surveys and I actually found out that teens are moving to twitter as their parents and family members joined Facebook and they're spamming them, so yeah, some would say its a silly reason to braking up the relation with Mark Zuckerberg's invention, but maybe it's not...

In this post, I'm not saying that Twitter is better or its the best, but I'm just writing my thoughts and My point of view, and I hope you like it and don't forget to write down your thoughts and comments about this post, and visit again for more interesting posts on various modern social media trends and news !

Annoying people in the Internet !

Of-course we are going to face those people in the internet, because when we have a technology there are always a few or lets say they are becoming a trend nowadays and they sack using social networks like Twitter and facebook.


First we have the happy couples, they are always posting awkward posts and compliment their partners an make us feel like we are going to live our whole life as a single one, and they are the reason why people start becoming fake just to fit  their standards.

Type number two... we have Mr. Wise Man, and those people they show themselves as heroes and saying wise stuff and maybe in reality they are totally the different. And they must be themselves and don't try to be fake because they will spend their whole life trying to satisfy others and that's Impossible.

Type number 3 we got those haters who always post silly post saying that they hate someone and they like others!! what the hell is that? come on is that something we should now? I think its not something to share and its better to keep that for yourself.

And that was just a small brief about some people I have noticed in Twitter and facebook.

Why People Unfollow You On Twitter

Earlier this month we asked our Twitter followers why they unfollow other users to solve the one questions most Twitter users have – why did people unfollow me? Every individual twitter user has his/her own pet peeve and we’ve chosen the top most common ones for you to steer clear of.
Surprisingly, not many people cited unfollows as the reason for them unfollowing back. Goes to show that if your twitter account and tweets are interesting enough, you can actually get away with unfollowing people.
