7. Social Media

1. Do you like using social media?

Do your friends use social media?

Of course I do as social media platforms allow me to be a part of community, not dictated by space or location, and give me an opportunity to talk about what I know and what I want to be known for, which, by the way, helps me attract potential professional and personal connections. Also, they let me easily learn about current events and things taking place in the world and allow me to hone in on what I really care about and what I really want to read.

2. What’s the most popular social media in your country?

I think by far the most popular social media is still Facebook cause it lets people make social connections, stay in touch with what friends are doing, share photos or videos with others and just fill up their free time.. Business people opt for professional networks such as LinkedIn and Xing 'cause they help resolve lots of business issues such as meeting customers, recruiting new employees, keeping up with the latest news in business and developing relationships with suppliers and colleagues.

3. What kind of people do you like to be friends with on those websites?

Well, I always send friend requests to people who inspire me to better myself, who have a great experience in my industry or people with insights to impart. I really like being friends with them cause they pull me out of my shell and introduce to new ideas, philosophies and activities spurring me into action and making me grow.

I really like to be friends with people whose views oppose mine. They are my teachers who push me to break out of my comfort zone and help open my eyes to different worldviews learning to accept people who don't see the world the way I see it.

4. What kind of social networking websites do you like to use?

Well, I mostly opt for professional networks such as LinkedIn and Xing cause they are a good assistant in my business issues such as meeting customers, recruiting new employees, keeping up with the latest news in business and developing relationships with suppliers and colleagues.

I really like Facebook cause it lets me make social connections, stay in touch with what friends are doing, share photos or videos with others and just fill up my free time whenever I have it.

5. What kind of chatting apps or software do people in your country like to use?

Well, I think it's either Facebook which lets people remain connected with friends, read the news and cater content to a large number of people or Instagram which gives people a chance to share professionally-edited photos and video, build business brands and make new friends.
