Social media does allow people to make stronger connections with people overseas, right next to you and in general.

Social media allows introverts to open up easier, it strengthens their interactions with others and allows
them to gain confidence. It changes their body to be more powerful and helps others to see them as
more confident and powerful, but as well allows them to feel more powerful and confident. Social media
is a simpler and easier way to ensure that bonds remain strong over distance. It is a told that shouldn't
replace other ways but it should enhance it. Social media should give a reason to people to connect in
ways that they can where as some can't do face-to-face

It can also be a great way to share tips and ideas. Sites like Pinterest have been
very successful due to the ease in which a person can learn - and share -
information about hobbies, crafts, cooking, gardening and other do-it-yourself
activities. By pinning and sharing, you can attract like-minded individuals into
your circle. But, just as these virtual groups can help hobbyists exchange ideas
and techniques, other social network groups offer solutions for more vexing, real-
world problems. For example, social media groups can be lifelines for individuals
suffering from a rare disease. Churches, synagogues and temples also use social
media to reach out to members who may be unable to attend services. Many
social networking sites incorporate an instant messaging feature, which lets
people exchange information in real-time via a chat. This is a great feature for
teachers to use to facilitate classroom discussions because it lets them utilize the
vast store of information available on the Web. This can be a great time saver for
the teacher - since students no longer need to visit a library to conduct research-
and it can be a great way to engage distracted learnersSchool is not the only setting
where this type of real-time information sharing can be beneficial. Social networking
can provide a tool for managers to utilize in team meetings, for conference organizers to
use to update attendees and for business people to use as a means of interacting with
clients or prospects. Some leaders are going so far as to include Tweets or other social
media updates during presentations. This approach can make events more interactive
and help the presenter reach a larger audience.
