Social media is good for gossip, entertainment.and socializing only. This is not a place to get genuine and authentic information.    

I agree. I am of the opinion, these gossips may lead to suspicions and doubts. Very recently, a person killed his wife because, some one said that his wife had illegal contacts with his neighbor.

No doubt social media are mostly for entertaining and socialising purposes, but It can also be used for sharing genuine information. Take for instance our boddunan forum, even though I have not visited many of the places discussed here but I have a good knowledge about the people and culture of these places based on the the genuine information shared by the members. Why would members lie about their culture or cuisine or society??

I agree, there was a time when people were vary of sharing any personal information . If one strikes a balance and reveal only relevant information there is no harm . Sharing information about places and lifestyle helps us learn about each other ..
