In modern day, social media is used all around the world. People are using Twitter, Facebook and other social media sources to learn about what’s happening in the world as traditional news outlets become increasingly less relevant to the digital generation. Through Twitter, Facebook and other social media sources, we can catch much information by them and express our own opinion. By the fact, we are seriously affected by social media. Therefore, I think that social media leads big trend of the society.

I picked two learning resources relate to social media that are Social Media Today and Social Media Explorer. Social Media Today provides insightful debate about the platforms, tools, companies and personalities. You can use this resource to become a contributor or to comment by sign up. There are several categories that are marketing, social networks, mobile, practice, blogging, and tools.  You can see articles that you are interesting for. Also you can post or leave a comment in each one of categories. Social Media Explorer provides the deeper communications, marketing strategies and online resources for thought leadership, analysis, insights and news in the social media and business. These two resources are kind of similar resources. Social Media Today title is the world’s best thinkers on social media. They organized contents well by each category.  Therefore, users easily can find what they want to get information. Users can share their idea with other users. Good thing is that users can get a better idea what they couldn’t think about before.  Social Media Explorer can get news about social media.
