16. More About LinkedIn
 LinkedIn allows users to post on online resume that benefits
both those who post and prospective employers. It is
efficient and saves time for both prospective employees and
employers.
 If a prospective employer likes what they see on a
prospective employee’s profile, they can easily be in contact
through the social media site.

17. Twitter
 Twitter is a micro blogging site that allows people to connect with
friends and celebrities among other people to see what others
are doing and to post general messages.
 Messages are short and to the point and allow the reader to find
out what they need to know quickly.
 I use Twitter to read what others are doing and in the case of
celebrities and other famous people, hear inspiring messages
and stories, or simply just entertainment news (depending on the
person sending the tweets).

Though limited to only 140 characters it still showcases one’s
ability to communicate quickly and effectively.

20. So, How Does Social Media Affect Me?
 I use social media everyday. It is everywhere, no one can say
that they are not affected by social media in one way or another.
 Previously, I mentioned just a few of the social media tools I
use, but there are many more out there, and there are more
tools created all the time.
 Social Media is EVERYWHERE!

21. Social Media Influences:
 Education – more and more students contact each other
and their professors through social media, be it to get help
with something or ask questions about their program of
study. These days it is quite common to see Facebook
groups and blogs dedicated to such causes.
 The workforce – more and more business professionals are
using social media to look at potential employees or to keep
in contact with existing employees. LinkedIn is most
commonly used for this purpose.
 Day to day life – Just about anyone can use social media,
and those that do tend to follow their favourite celebrities on
Twitter or “like” their favourite products on Facebook.

22. Most Importantly:
Social Media Connects People!
