more sophisticated way of communication across all and sundry. The rapid

coverage across borders. A social media network consists of an online service
portal, site that engages in building of social networks /relations among
people by providing a platform where people of similar interests share
activities, backgrounds, social forums, links or real-life connections. It is
usually a kind of network that has representations of each user depicted by a
profile, social links, and contacts. Most social networks are web based and
they are accessed by means of using the internet. Often users are given the
choice of whom to associate and connect socially with. An example of a typical
social network is Facebook and Twitter. Face book has since taken a dominant
place and factor in the social media scene. It is the most well-known and used
social networking site tool with over 1.06 billion users as at December, 2012.
Users are drawn from all facets of life with the university having its own fair
share of student users. Users are able to create profiles with picture
representations of them and basic information about their school, work and
interests. They are able to communicate with other user groups through sharing
of vital information using formats that are similar to e-mails. Other
interesting aspect of this platform is the ability to share photos, music,
videos and educational materials via web links. |
