Social Media are no longer on periphery of media landscape. In 2012  Olympics and Obama made them part of mainstream media   Businesses have been using them for marketing and Public Relations.  News organisations use them as source of news as well as channels of communication of news and comments. Governments are also using them in different ways.
But there is flip side too. People are careless while using this form of communication and many have got into trouble. Social media are useful in crisis communication, but also have been responsible for crises for companies and public. Businesses, news organisations and Governments have started developing social media policies and guidelines.

Social Media Marketinghas become a great revolution after the impact of Facebook and other networks. In appearance Fb seems to simple, but for a business it has become the ultimate destination for every Customer to know more about the products and services.
