Just as I had lunch yesterday over at Chutney Mary’s, I was having this in mind. Vicknes was telling me to start providing some facts that would show the advantages of social media. I would like to keep the example as basic as possible and effective for the common people. 

So, How about getting to know which restaurants are the best through the social media networks available. 

For instance, the food over at Chutney’s were pretty good. I shared my part over at twitter by informing that the food was delicious. Now think about this. We are going to use twitter as a platform. Having a huge follower list and friends may be benefiting. Im making this statement in thought that the audience are Malaysians. 

Alright, the scenario is this. Im desperate for a great Japanese restaurant as I need to take out someone at the particular moment. The social media is still growing at Malaysia. And the internet did not seem to be giving me much of an info. Google map’s did not highlight me any. Furthermore, I only have a mobile phone with me.(assuming you don’t have a data plan) So what do it do? 

Twitter! as it works well on text messages. Since I have a mutual list of followers & friends. They should be a help to me when I do need it the most. So I twitter. “Urgent guys, What’s the nearest Japanese Food in Bangsar Baru.” Instantly you receive flooded amount of replies suggesting you where to go and what’s best on the menu. Well. That’s a quick opener on the possibilities of the social media usage. I would go on with various series of explanation. Taking more common examples into count.

On another note.. I would be giving you my thoughts on Mutual Contacts Vs Random Contacts soon. That’s the core ingredient to an active social network. I believe its important.
