 SOCIAL NETWORK OUTCOME.

(Source)

          The born of social network help human in term of business, social, work and studies. Social Network will continue to expand and shine, I can say that the way our social network continue to move forward with high technology are pure awesomeness.
Vine as one of the innovative social network continue to develop a new direction for helping human to communicate better. It could be in terms of short video or even a live video in the future as we never know what the future hold.
The advantage that we get when using social network are valuable as it make our life easier and can reduce our stress by enjoying the entertainment content in it.   
 However, social network did have a lot of negative influence that cannot be acceptable. Currently, most people raise the issue of privacy, real communication, scam , politic and the addiction of it. There are just too many bad incident that could happen in social network that some of them are trauma to use it anymore. Although it have a lot of weakness , I think it can be improve vastly later on if society can change their personality into someone that can be more responsible, respect and honest.

            My speculation on our social network future based on it history, a new social network will rising up and the old ones will be left by the user. The cycles continue, a fresh and innovative would be stand up compare to other to be the king of social network. But for now it will never happen because Facebook still holding the social network "crown".
Wrapping things up, we are the person that going to change how the social network would be in the future. It could be bad or good. Last but not least, let take the first step to stop cyber-bullying, scamming and anything that could damages our social network for our next generation humanity.

Trend in Social Network

                    If you using social network, I'm pretty sure you do know some of the current hottest trend that are being followed by many people. Trend can be good advantage and bad disadvantage depend on how you try to use it. Trend aren't only focus on being viral for some jokes or pointless things like wearing a hijab in 10 sec, parody politician or politic, selfies with shovel. The factor that affect trend in social network are influenced from people.How trend work? It could be your friends or family that show something interesting and you end up follow along doing the same thing and share to other, the recycle repeat.

                      WHAT THE CURRENT TREND ON SOCIAL NETWORK?
Here I provide some information about the current trend that are always appear on social network whether it is already popular or not. One of trend that already popular widely are taking a selfie with monopod. Yes, it something that you might know and maybe getting bored already but it still remains famous. Posting about food where before you eat, you capture the food first and post it on Instagram or Facebook. Another unique trend that I like is capturing a scenery view whether through video or camera, to me it is so wonderful because I get to see a beautiful scenery creation in our world. For example, my friends goes to Singapore Universal Studios and although we never see it on our naked eyes but atleast we do know how it look like. The newest trend is about GST where people post a picture contain their receipt of purchase. Maybe they post it to share before and after GST have implent, the changes on the price and so on.

                      HOW CAN YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TREND IN SOCIAL NETWORK?
It so simple, identify the trend first whether you can gain anything from it and is it appropriate? if so, then you can proceed doing the same thing that the content do in your own way as you can use it for multipurpose. First of all, you can use the trend to promote your business since the trend attract viewer to watch it because it the hottest trend that happening. Second, maybe you can use the recent trend for Islamic purpose as you can removed the negative content and added a good one. I do remember back then when Oppa Gangnam Style was so popular and people in Malaysia love it. A religious man change the lyric and make his own Islamic style. Thirdly, there a trend that revolve around business like ice cream in flower pot where it is so unique. You can try your luck selling it since it one of the hottest food trend in social network. Most people would like to buy that after seeing the picture that their friends share on social network.

                   BAD DISADVANTAGE, DO NOT TRY !
How about the trend that were unappropriate? well, just like what I mention on the first paragraph that negative trend are not a good idea to market your things. Negative trend may not appeal to most people and some of them might feel hurt. For example, again about the GST where many people snap the receipt and put on some provoactive statement that truly express their anger and concern. I hope you are not one of them because it just a waste of time since you cannot change nor avoid it. Other than that, negative trend not only influenced adults but also children whos maybe use the social network. Maybe they would like to try the trend too and then share it on social network without knowing their actions. Lastly, a useless trend that are just wasting your time by watching it.

                Having a trend on social network are good especially for marketing and campaign but only if you know whether it good or bad. You have the right to spread the trend but atleast try to reduce if it not necessary and pure worthless.

History of Social Network

                 Hello people, I hope you have a wonderful day as I’m going to talk about the history of social network. I’m sure you are very curious to know more especially on how our human kind develop this social network. Back then, computer were used by military for the purpose of command and control.   Then, they decide to expand it to some area that are private and only viable for military staff. After that, computer are open to public but most of it function and feature are only for technology purpose like machine code , coding and etc.

                It was boring and lack of function until they create a system called BBS (also known as Bulletin Board System). It is an online community before world wide web were created, It also open to many boundaries that they never do before ,they can now shares their hobby or interest regarding music, movies, books or anything and people will download it using telephone line modem. BBS become so popular and even right now some people still use it.

                Other than BBS, we also have another option to communicate in that era and in fact it launch earlier than BBS. It is an online service that were called as CompuServe. However, this online service are actually for business oriented until they decide to official release it as public domain for social communities. It able to do what BBS can do such as shares content, news and event but with an added feature like interact with others people by using an email.  CompuServe have a forum that are varies with a different kind of discussion in it. Starting from years 2002, we get more social network on the way with variety of interface. 

                 The first successful social network are Friendster created by Jonathans Abraham. Jonathans tell that Friendster were created for dating but most people used it to interact and chat with friends. The network become popular with over one millions people register. However, Friendster fallout from it reign as the top social network because of it mediocore management and decision. Now, Friendster become a gaming sites. For people near age like me and my friends, we never really get to used Friendster much.

                Myspace was launch on 2003 and later become one of the top social network at that times. Myspace become the rival of Friendster (Still the king of social network) at the current era. Until people realize that they get a lot of feature when using Myspace compare to Friendster. Since Friendster lack of decision to improve cause it to lose many users. I get to try Myspace and I must say that it is fun with plenty customizable for your profile page. After that, Myspace replaced Friendster as the king of social network but it didn’t took so long for Myspace to decline too. Right now, Myspace become a site for music band and artist.

                Facebook were introduced on 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and It reign as the king of social network till now. Facebook were so popular because of it convenient user-friendly interface and constantly update their sites frequently which lead to good improvement. For me, Facebook are so simple and even the elders and children know how to use it.

                Learning about social network history are important because there a chance that these social network might be unknown later to younger generation unless if you do tell them their existence. For instance, the fate of Myspace and Friendster whos almost unheard today. So I hope you did gain some knowledge by reading this. That all for today blog post, thank you for reading.

HIGH ON SOCIAL NETWORK ?

SOCIAL NETWORK ADDICTION

(Source)

                     Hello, enjoying Facebook, You-tube, Vine, and etc ? Well don't get too obsessed. Social Network is not a drug for us to get addict. The picture above describe it all, here some facts about Social Network Addiction that you should take a precaution. First of all, the symptom of social network addiction. Since you only interact most of the times through social network, it may make you feel nervous when speaking directly with people. Your weight also might change in a short amount of time either skinny or fat. Your emotion aren't stable like you feel a lot of depressed, loneliness or stressed. Now let see what the cause of these addiction on the next paragraph.

                      WHAT MAKE IT ADDICTING ?
Well, some social network have a good content that are really similar to the user interest.We take Instagram as an example, this social network is about sharing pictures and available to post a 15 second video. Photographer can share their photos and and the followers can "like" and "comment" about the picture. This ways photographer can learn and become more psych up to shoot more scene. Not only photographer, users also can upload their selfies, we-fie, or some picture about their hobby, talent and interest.This social network has many common interest with the users. Users can also do online shopping. For users who like to buy things online, Instagram is another online shopping heaven. It also a platform for fashion designer, fashionista, artist, and famous people to share their dresses, attire, shoes and etc to their followers. Well, all this point is absolutely satisfied the user and make them addict on the social network.
       
            Another example why social network become addicting is people can interact with their friend and burn more time. Friends who would like to meet did not have to meet in person to plan their meeting, now they can use social network to contact each other from far and plan their meeting. This way, people will save more time to write a letter and address it on friend address. It take 3 days to post letter to a friend but now it only take a few second (depending on the internet you are using wi-fi or data) to messages a friend and plan a meet. It is very easy as ABC. Now, we can't deny the function of social network that can make us addict.

               NOW WHY YOU HAVE TO STOP THE ADDICTION?
For me, the social network give alot of fun and entertainment that even I cannot denied but there a way more activities that you can do rather than sitting infront of your personal computer or smartphone for the whole day. Social network really lag your development and performance , for example if you have a work to do but rather than do it, you spend your times with social network.To most of us, time are gold and if you don't use it properly you never get the advantage of it. Moreover as I mention on my previous post before that social network will always cause tense relationship between your family. You cannot make a time when you busy spending it on social network. The bad outcome of this tense relationship is when you don't know your child development on school life whether he eat or get bullied. Since you are not close with them, they never tell you what their problem is.

                      SO WHAT THE SOLUTION?
My humble advise is to find a new hobby that you could enjoy at the same time it would not affect the negative impact you experienced before. I'm sure some of you cannot stop log-in through social network so atleast please reduce the time you spent with it. Slowly, you will start to realise that you don't need to get online every 20 minutes. Other than that, you can plan a vacation ahead with your family without the access of social network. Lastly if it not workout , you have to see a therapist or counselor in order for them to give a moral support and encouragement.

Do and not to do when using Social Network

(Source)

                   Hey everyone, how are you today ? I know you guys are anticipate with our next topic. Well, today Im going to give you a tips about what to do and not to do when you using social network. As we can see, sometimes we do a bad mistake and something embarrassing on social network. This kind of mistake may lead to some strain on your friend relationship. 

     

                    First of all , never look at your past especially your ex-partner because stalking your partner content like video or photo may cause an anger burning up. This kind of attitude just going to make you feel regret and remember your painful past with them. I would advice you to block your ex-partner permanently so you can move on with your life.

                    Secondly, please don't post something in social network that may hurt your friends feeling especially when it comes to anger statement. Plus, your friend might misunderstand the content of your statement and sometimes you do loves to joke around to the extend that your friend feel very annoy. So here my personal advice, if you argue with your friends, you should atleast speak to your friends first and try to reconcile. You can also think twice before post any statement that may cause provoactive as that statement only cause more strain to the relationship.
       
                     Thirdly, I'm sure some of you loves to share your location. To me, this is so wrong because it exposed your locations. Bad people could take this advantage and might cause you a harm. For example, you check in on your social network like Foursquare telling that you are at the bank which give a robber an opportunities to rob you. Your security are in danger when that happens so my tips would be, you can check in but atleast one or two hour after that situation. So they can't harm you with the timelapse difference between your check in time and the situation.

                      Other than that, you should not posted your picture freely on social network as people include the stranger might steal your privacy by download your picture. They could also posted it on scamming website or even do a false advertisement with your figure in it which may lead into misunderstanding and embarrassment.

                      Last but not least, you should wear appropriate clothes when taking a picture for social network as people will judge you.  What kind of unappropriate clothes that you don't have to wear? a fancy and revealing clothes. These kind of clothes will make people turn their eye on you in a negative way. Society always have this mindset that "manner reflect your behavior". Especially in Malaysia where revealing your clothes are sensitive issue because it give men a chance to peek on your figure body. Fancy things like jewelry such as gold and diamond should not be show on social network because it reveal your richness which is not a good thing as robber can put you into their next target. My suggestion would be to try wear a clothes that cannot lead you into any controversy because you can be stylish without the needs of revealing. For fancy, I would suggest to keep it simple and low profile for your own safety.

                      So as you can see, the point above are one of the few important that you should take a caution. Social Network are a beautiful platform for communication but if you misuse it then it could lead you into trouble. Thank you for reading our post today, hope to see you on our next post.

The positive changes that social network brought in our current era

                                                                              (Source Image)

                    Today, most of the things that we do are always involve with internet and social network. The change that social network brought are significant as you no longer need to relied on some oldies things anymore. Back then, we always use SMS (known as Social Messaging Service) where we sent text to our beloved friends and family but now we don't have to do that anymore. Social Network like Facebook and Twitter  help us communicate with much easier and better interface than the old SMS system. As technology continue to evolve, internet is an important component to every human in this world and most people subscribe data plan,so social network intentionally or not take the advantage of the internet.

                  The most significant difference you can see from your naked eyes is the fee charge of each text. If you using SMS, you need to pay per text and the charge rate depend on your provider and where do you live. It turn out to be so different with social network like Facebook, Twitter and etc. For example, if you using Facebook, you can send a text message to anyone either he lives in Malaysia or outside of our country and most importantly its free as long as you have internet.

                 Before social network take over our worlds than it used to be, we always forget to wish a happy birthday to our loved ones on their important days due to heavy workload. Then, you have to call them while you are actually in busy situation which cause alot of hassle. Social network like Facebook able to solve this problem because it remind you the birthday of your friends which help you to remember. But right now, we can just wish a happy birthday from our Facebook. It simple yet easier to communicate and you don't need to wait for the respond as the birthday recipient will read it and reply back soon. You can easily check the notification that birthday recipient give while you not in busy mode.

               If you read from my previous post, you already know that big brands company use some popular social network like Facebook for their business purpose and of course to interact with their customers. It easier to read the customer feedback about their product and also to promote the product itself through the review the customer give in Facebook. Other than big brands, there are some online shop that really prefer selling their item online because they don't have to rent any local stores which save alot in term of budget.

            Lastly, social network help some organization to promote their campaign like protect the earth, help the homeless poor and many more. The organization will create a group page through facebook for volunteer that willing to help in term of time,money or energy. Plus, social network have the power to raise other people awareness of the current situation happen in our country too.
In my opinion, the impact and change from social network are most probably good as it make people life easier in term of everything. There is one video that I want to show you for more details about the positive impact of social network in graphically ways, please scroll down and enjoy.

Vine - 6 second videos, meaningful?

                   

              Lately these day there a popular trend where you see someone record a video showing their ownself within 6 sec. This trends are so appealing to younger generation. Why do it have to be 6 sec, what can you show to the audience within that 6 sec and most importantly, is it worth it to watch it? it a social network website that called Vine, this social network only allow you to record the video within 6 sec.

                  The vine user enjoy it very much because of how the video were so short but you can pack plenty of action and content within that 6 sec. It also require creativity and expert at editing process so it can become interesting. These 6 sec managed to make you laughing out loud and addict to the video duration concept as it shorter but also meaningful. The interface of vine also stand out from the other social network because you only need to scroll down to see the next video without the needs of pressing the play button, the videos will autoplay itself.

                   From our opinion, the 6 sec concept were so good to be true because there are no social network that have these kind of gimmicks. It managed to grab new users from these gimmick and make them want to try record a video of these 6 sec concept too.

                    Sadly, we realize that Vine also have a flaw in terms of privacy and how it reflect our societies image. As you already know, Vine are not for Malaysian people only. Being so overreact , offensive and sometimes racist may cause other country to think badly about us, Malaysian. Secondly, the privacy are not so secure as you post the videos to public which expose you to any danger or threat  and also potentially cause some stalker and stranger to steal your video and save to their own harddisk for their own personal evil intention. If you never see a Vine videos then please do so. Here I compile two Vines video as one is in english and the other ones is in malay.

                     English Vine                                                              Malay Vine
