Since ‘social media revolution’, webcasts became popular tool of many corporations to communicate their messages with potential clients. It is also becoming more common to use such videos in tutorials for training practices among companies’ employees.
Brands seem to benefit from using social media tools available to them such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or MySpace.
The most popular ones among young people are Twitter and Facebook, where Twitter is used more for professional purposes and Facebook for personal reasons. Their popularity and accessibility vary depending on countries social media users come from.

I agree that social media is influencing the way wstern societies (especially younger generations) live their everyday life. I think it is an important point you made that there is a divide bettween developed countries that have social media and undeveloped ones that have limited access to it. This will probably be a growing social issue right up there with economic issues internationally.

I actually think that social media could deepen the gap between developed and developing (or rather as you say, undeveloped) countries. The reason for this: technology and social media speed up things (such as i.e. information flow) and people are then expected to work and react faster as well. This leads to many changes in a short period of time (which i sometimes find overwhelming myself), where in 'undeveloped' countries changes happen over longer period of time and thought perhaps they are less shocking for such pulics, they are already 'olden days' for people from western part of the world. I'm not sure yet how it affects PR is such places, but if public relations will shift completely online, there will be a barrier for it in reaching a big part of the world. I don't think however, this switch to online only Pr will happen. At least I hope it wont. I would like to believe that we will keep real life human relations not only in our personal lives but also at work.
