WEEK 5 "Social Media News"

Today I found an interesting fact from a Thai news article. It reported that over 7 million people in Thailand chose to send online Christmas and New Year cards though social networks such as Facebook.  From this news story it reflects to how convenience our communication methods have become.

As an advantage it’s generally free, fast and easy. Especially when you want to send it to someone who lives across the country or overseas.  I’ve also been tagged in cards on Facebook a few times. This method is probably a very convenience way to write a single card but allows you to send it to many people at once.

But does it make the cards worthless? For people who like to collect cards like my self, I prefer the traditional system. Either I give them the card face to face or send it via the mail. I think it makes the card a bit more special than the online version.

However, that’s only my point of view. Let me know what you think about sending cards online and what you would prefer?
