The Importance Of Stumbleupon And It's Role In Social Media

We've all heard the hype of Myspace, LinkedIn

, Twitter, StumbleUpon and Facebook. What social media is to the everyday user is something pretty amazing in the way of communication. Never before have we had so many ways to communicate with friends and family so easily. Nor has distance been so easy to cross as it is now with online social sites.

Does your family live far away? Are you one of the few who actually send paper cards and letters through the mail? The Internet has nearly erased the need for stationary anymore, because it allows us to send emails and notes to people who live all the way around the other side of planet in moments, let alone in the same city. We can now share videos with each other simply with the click of a button, using tools like those that StumbleUpon offer.

Thankfully, with the advent of Internet communication, suddenly family members miles apart can share pictures and daily updates, as well as invitations to family reunions. It's also a great way to reconnect with people who have completely lost touch with you, as well as find family members you've never met before. With people creating profiles everywhere on the Internet, genealogical research has become easier than ever.

If like me, you are a daily user and use the sites to talk to friends and family who do share your daily life, then you are also aware of the ease of communication amongst your group. Can't send an email or a text? No problem, you know they will be checking their Facebook page several times a day, and more likely will get the message faster that way anyway. Sending out evites for a party or event is almost the more preferred way, unless of course you're talking about a wedding or graduation.

Along with communication, social media also gives you a way to have some electronic recreational fun. Don't talk to your neighbors? Friends too busy for game night? Many social sites are also giving lots of options as far as sharing videos and neighborhood games. Online, you are able to become a neighbor, farm, build cities, and fight wars all with the touch of a button. Some sites like StumbleUpon also allow you to meet perfect strangers based on surfing the same type of websites.

Digital communication and electronic visiting have become the wave of the future, and people have even begun to campaign for office with a major online presence. Not recognizing the way that society is headed can be a detriment to any forward-looking company and can cause them to miss out on major retail trends, as well as an educated consumer looking for a deal.

What social media is to you and me is slightly different than what it means to the large corporation. Either way, it's a great way to connect, coordinate, and communicate in a day when the post office is not the preferred method of sending mail. Check out the StumbleUpon and other sites to see what they offer, and then join the media of today.
