Bloggers are not journalist

Based on my opinion bloggers are not journalist because most of the bloggers didn't specify their source for the stuffs they post . Which means , it may be TRUE or FALSE .

Now days, people easily believe news posted by bloggers because bloggers make it look real .

For example, if a blogger wrote bad things about someone or a company , it will cause trouble and misunderstanding. Besides that, some bloggers often shared wrong and misconceptual infomation and this wrong information will be spread to other people.

We know how fast the internet can spread news and information.

This is why bloggers are often sue while journalists are protected from having to reveal their sources in many cases.This is why bloggers must think of the consequences for what they are blogging wether it is sensitive ,provoking or benefits people. They must take responsibility for what they post.

I think we should do our research and find facts and data about the blogger first , wether his posts can be trust or not. Don't easily trust what some stranger(blogger) post unless hes someone like the 'PRIME MINISTER' .

Social media, a new oppotunity for everyone

Social media is media which mostly uses Internet and web-based technologies to transfer information to a wide audience range in a short time. The basic characteristic of social media today are, low cost(some are free), popular, wide age range, and open to public. Some popular examples are, facebook, myspace, youtube, which provides free profile, information sharing service for free. We are able to know whats happening around the world, our friends easily via these medium. We can also share our audio, video, and some of my friends did get their fame by posting videos in youtube.


Social media doesn't only create a new generation of communication system, it also provides a market, or a chance for everyone to run their own buisness, work society, group, etc. while blogging, discussion in forum becoming more and more popular, the demand of internet trading grows. Ebay, Amazon, was the main source of online trading before, but now, as everyone blog, they are able to sell their own product using blog, facebook, and several forum. They can easily get the product supply from other online source too.

The most influences which social media give to me is the uses of social media marketing. I personally classify social media marketing into 2 types. The first one is, earning directly from the social media, or can be said as kind of information trading, such as digital products, ebook, advertising, referral program, and etc. It also includes some who provide a space for advertising in blog, forum, or a selling sites. Most of them cost nothing to join. Some examples are, clickbank.net, adsense and yahoo overture. Another type of social media market is, earning indirectly from the social media, which means, we do not make money from social media but we use the communication system to have more client and directly sell them our own product. Compared to the 1st one, this require one to build his social communication system while the 1st one only require a constant traffic to their page.

I've been working with the social media which is internet, world wide web for a long time and I tried many of them. For my own experience, for the 2nd type, I was quite active in some forum(or bulletin board system) and have opportunities to know some online sellers. They sell stuff via forum and blogs. When I've gained their trust and did researches within Malaysia Market, price comparison, I decided to offer them a supply for the item they sell, and suggest the price range to them. I imported a box of 2M^3 of creative stuff from China, YiWu,after i get their invoices and 1st payment(enough to cover all my cost so i did pay nothing for that.), I post all the stocks to the seller and they paid me the rest. That's how I earned My 1st thousands via social media market. I also tried some other things like Get paid to programs, adwords, and etc.

Somehow, the convenience of social media also brings down the awareness of privacy and secure of the internet. People does easily trust the person they chatted in the screen, and they could be easily cheated. Some illegal activities like phishing, hacking, planting spywares, can easily expose someone's critical information like bank account information.

Social Media In Our Life

Now day, our daily life are suround by all kinds do media. It include newpaper, television program, internat, magazine and others. As a human at dis century, we can get all kind of information or news even we did not step out from our house. Example we can get all news around the worlds thougth the internet. We can also shopping thougth internet and buy the daily used thing even we did not go for supermarket. Beside that, someone also can earn money by sitting infront of computer only. Those peopel using internat network to expose their career. This is a low cost career and low risk compare with other. Social ensure our life more easy and become a standard humam being.

Social Media...

So, for this week we are talking about social media. How social media is affecting people's life.

Well, let's see what I am doing now. I am doing my assignment by posting in the blog(one of the social media). I don't have to get my work done in the microsoft words and print it out before the submission day and lastly hand it to lecturer. All I need 2 do is just post in the blog n lecturer will see it through the blog. How convenient.

Other than this, let us look at facebook. Although a lot post there already talking about facebook, but still i want to talk about it. HAHA! Last time, when social media were not so common yet. Students who left his hometown to study at other place, their parents have to phone them by using telephone to know their situation. But look at now, i got friend whose mother have a facebook account. The mother will know what her son is doing recently by just going 2 his facebook profile. No more phone calls. If parents will like to hear their children's voice, they just have to use the Voice over Internet Protocol(VoIP). So, this shows that how social media have changed the way of people communicate.

Social media is also used in doing business too. "If you can harness social media marketing, you don’t have to pay for advertising any more.” by Sequoia Capital partner Mark Kvamme.
Many big companies are now using social media as a platform for promoting.

Lastly, video sharing. This social media was somehow make a lot of people become famous. Last year example, Susan Boyle. I believed that if her video was not show in youtube, or without youtube, She won't be famous in a couple days. Youtube is a popular video sharing media. Lots and lots of people getting famous by using youtube. And then YouTube Star this term appeared. I personally recommend Peter Chao this youtube star. If you want to know who is Peter Chao, just search his name in youtube.

Conclusion, social media affects my life, your life, his life, her life and EVERYONE's life.
Comment me... :P

Social Media

Okay... this is my very first... time to writing a blog..., however i will try my best on it. For my 20 years of experience i think nowadays social media is changing the human lifestyle. As you can see nowadays people like to sit in front of computer, checking news, chat on facebook, and even doing business through social media.

As u can compare to last time to nowadays people really change a lot, example nowadays people using this type of technology to share information and get to know each other more easily compare to last time thats is really difficult to share anything you knew if u really want to share the information you have to send a latter, not like now you straight away click in to facebook and post anything you knew then your whole gangs of friends will knew it.

Thats what i think social media are changing human lifestyle.

I love Posting For Assignment

Ok.. So i can't sleep cause I drank coffee.. So lame.. Instead of wasting my time trying to sleep.. I took the initiative to post about social media.. Cool.. I came upon this website (http://www.greyreview.com/2008/10/20/social-media-marketing-and-malaysias-biggest-brands/) well basically talking about social media.. Its stated that not only is social media important its even more important than we can ever imagine. Nowadays, even business requires media to help advertise.. The more you advertise, the faster your bank fills up(technically). My opinion on social media is that human depend on social media to carry on their daily lives. It has adept to become apart of our lives. In general speaking, social media affects the economy of a country, an individual's life and many more. All kinds of talent are being discovered through social media such as twitter, facebook, youtube and so on. Even people with no talent can be famous just by using social media as their base ( So Amazing ). Do give some comment on what I have posted, although some are lame.. Thank you..

In simple words,social media is a "tool" to spread news or anything..
Wikipedia is a type of social media..Inside the Wiki,there is a lot of article,journals and information

Facebook,the greatest social networking website ever created..my own opinion only..(haha)
