Social Networking News Marketing Background Sponsors News Site map Status The boom of social networking technology "Let's take a selfie! No let's tag, like and share this post," are some of the most used phrases of today's media world. Many people have become enthusiastic social networkers creating an increase in social media platforms. Social networking has captured the imagination of many. People of all ages across the world are daily users. They are signing up to networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest (a tool for collecting and organising things that inspire you). Even companies are now communicating with their clients through Facebook, which according to statistics, has a whopping 901 million users. Social networking is the new way to communicate. For some, it gives them a sense of belonging. It provides a platform for even the most timid of voices to be heard. Others use it to stay connected with friends and family. And it helps us to stay up to date with the world. In Jamaica social networking has: - helped to raise funds for the Jamaican bobsled team through crowd-funding. - helped to create support for the Voice winner Tessanne Chin. - assisted in finding missing children. When an Ananda Alert is declared users share the missing persons report. - helped not-for-profit organisations to gain sponsorship and volunteers. - Want more information?

Managing the dangers: Social Media For one reason or another, online privacy is not a priority in the Caribbean. However, with increased threats online from dishonest people, many are taking steps to ensure personal privacy and security. In Jamaica, the government are taking steps to protect classified material regarding the state and its agencies. While you may think that these problems will never affect you, you should also think about your personal privacy and security online? This is especially important for young people, who spend many hours on the internet. Protecting Yourself There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself from online predators. The tools you need are knowledge of online safety and the ability to detect people with fake online identities. Let us use Facebook to give some online safety tips.
