| description | Social media is social. It is important for us all and it should be open to all....It is not necessarily about living a life on the Internet. It is about bypassing distance in the real world, making new friends, and participating in all the conversations between our family members and the communities we live in....Social media can break down barriers and change lives.

It connects the dots. |
