I started using hotmail when i was in standard 5. I still remember the first tool for everyone to stay connected was using ICQ. It was very famous at that time and slowly MSN Messenger took over the place and they improved until this latest version called as Windows Live Messenger.

For me, i prefer using Windows Live Messenger the most to stay connected with all my friends because they are improving it day by day which makes our life much more easier. Besides that,i am able to categorized all my friends into each category. For instance, i categorize them into different type of schools they are from,relatives or the way how i met them. There are so many contacts in my lists, thus, by using category, it categorized them in few categories which don't make me confuse anymore.

I am having a long distance relationship. My boyfriend is currently studying in singapore, therefore, this is the only way we are able stay connected to each other besides calling each other which costs quite alot. We use both skype and Windows Live Messenger to video call with each other. It allows us to stay connected with anyone whether it is long or short distance. In my opinion,i would prefer using Windows Live Messenger than Skype because Windows Live Messenger is more stable than Skype. Skype will just cut off automatically after a few hours.

I am in University now, i am in a different pathway and different place with my secondary school friends. We have a group in our contact list which we can discuss about gathering or outing with each other in an easier and faster way than calling and making sure with everyone which takes a longer time. We can keep ourselves updated with our latest news and thus, our close relationship can still be maintained.

Facebook is very famous among everyone in the different range of age. Facebook has taken over Friendster which was very famous before this. Facebook has alot of different applications which allow us to use. It is like a package which includes everything inside. Facebook is like the "nescafe 3 in 1" which includes everything. We are also able to chat in it,send messages like email,playing games,updating each other and etc. Well, it is not a surprise knowing our parents are using Facebook too because it is an effective tool to stay connected with everyone in the whole world. No doubt, i feel so uncomfortable when i couldn't even login to my facebook even only a day. I feel as if i have already missed out a lot of informations or activities that are happening in facebook. Well,i would say it already plays an important role in my life.

Youtube, it is also one of the website that i visited the most nowadays. As a person who likes dreaming about idols,artists,actors and actresses loves this website the most. I am able to catch up with the shows screening in television,live concerts or interviews in Youtube. I am able to know the atmosphere in the concerts, the episodes of the show that i missed and alot more.

As a conclusion, i would like to say that social media allows us to stay connected,knowing in just a click and faster way. Before the newspaper publish it, we already know it before hand.There are so many things that we can do in just a website nowadays.Moreover, we are able to sit down,relax at home because everything can be done in just a click.
