The Social Media
In 2006, Facebook (as we know it) was born. From 2004 until
then, it was accessible only by students and in 2006, it was
opened up to the world.
It’s not a natural go-to when thinking of search engines,
however, last year it surpassed 2 billion searches/day putting
it ahead of Bing.
With more than 1.5 billion logged in visitors per month,
Facebook also gives businesses and advertisers incredible
market access and tends to be where people are when they’re
not working (present company excluded obviously), meaning
they may be in a better situation to follow their nose and get
side-tracked by your offering if it’s of interest.

E-commerce
E-commerce (electronic commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and services, or
the transmitting of funds or data, over an electronic network, primarily the internet.
These business transactions occur either as business-to-business (B2B), business-to-
consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer or consumer-to-business. The terms e-
commerce and e-business are often used interchangeably. The term e-tail is also
sometimes used in reference to the transactional processes that make up online retail
shopping.
In the last decade, widespread use of e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay
has contributed to substantial growth in online retail. In 2007, e-commerce accounted
for 5.1% of total retail sales; in 2019, e-commerce made up 16.0%.
Unsafe surfing can also lead to other threats—from embarrassing personal comments or
images that, once online, are nearly impossible to erase, to getting mixed up with
people you'd rather have had nothing to do with.
