to share meaningful information, but it is often
used to share the negative information too. If
your customer has a bad experience with you, it
will be easy for them to share their experience
on the social media. This unfavorable commentary
takes many different shapes. It is possible that
someone can submit a negative review and share
it on the social media sites like Facebook. It
will in the end affect the prospects as they
will see such negative review or comment about
your business. Creating barriers in
social-emotional connection. Social media becomes
a medium to carry social and emotional
connections. Through social media, everything has
been confined to written communication,
including greetings on important occasions and
thinking expressions, which has caused a loss of
sincere connections and feelings.
