About the Social Media and
Online Communities e-Book Collection
Social media, while originally intended solely for social uses, has infiltrated numerous other aspects of society over the years, including applications for business, education, and medicine. From presenting new ways to engage costumers, to the development of online learning communities for professional development purposes, to a disseminator of news, social media offers society new ways in which to connect, share, and identify with one another across borders. This technology cannot be overlooked, and leaders must employ it to support their interests in order to stay relevant, or they risk falling behind. However, many problems accompany the myriad of benefits social media provides such as trolling, fake news, cyberbullying, and depression. Further study on the various applications and challenges of social media is required to develop best practices and ensure it is utilized to its full potential.
