Social networks are sharing some responsibility that was only done before by the official brand's websites. They make it easier for the public to get instant information updates as well as greater inter-activity with companies on social networks. This phenomenon may allow official websites only the function of providing institutional information about the company or brand. Customer relationships, hot news and product information updates can become more effective when it is posted on social websites with a high interactive level that includes suggestions, opinions and feedback from customers and users. These customers also visit the brand's official websites to get more information about their services and products. But this is a facility netizens make use of only if they are really in the search for information. Other than this, users only connect to social networks for personal reasons or to find news and information or if they are interested in the pop-up advertisements on websites.
A rational model for distribution of online content and information is necessary to optimise the workflow process so that it may not be repetitive and reach target audiences in a variety of options.
The gold age of information that we are living in has its positive side, but it is also very easy to get lost in it. Pre-planning is essential so that one does not have to spend energy and resources in vain.

A new study raised by AVG, British Internet security, found that 69 per cent of children between two and five years know how to use the mouse, but only 11 per cent know how to tie shoelaces. Even bicycles are losing out — while 52 per cent know cycling, 58 per cent are already able to play on the computer. There is little difference in the numbers for boys and girls. The survey was conducted in 10 countries with 2,200 mothers of children under five years who have Internet access.
