Some interesting fact and stats about the effects of social media. Could just be assumptions and made up if not for the references, worth investigating further for more accuracy.
Social media was a big step in extroversion and news, however it was a plummet in personal privacy. The integration of social media into everything is convenient, yes, but it leads one to believe using it to be mandatory to have because of all the disadvantages compared to using it.
Aside from privacy, the addiction to social media is extremely evident in the younger generation and often leads to online arguments, befriending complete strangers or even identity frauds. Delete the scoop?

Pinterest has a higher concentration of people who are in a ‘buy’ state of mind, while Facebook users are more interested in interacting with friends - and brands.... Understanding what people do on different social networks is the key to effectively using those networks for marketing. Companies currently spend 8.4% of their marketing budgets on social media, and that’s expected to grow to 21.6% in the next five years. But with so many social networks competing to grab marketing dollars, determining the most effective channels can be extremely difficult. To illustrate, let’s look at how Facebook and Pinterest stack up against one another. Different Networks For Different Reasons While both Facebook and Pinterest offer deep customer segmentations and user engagement, it would be a mistake to target audiences in the same way across both networks. For example, you wouldn’t market your product to someone shopping at a trendy boutique the same way you would to someone walking down the street with their friends. In a store, you’d likely look to make a sale, while on the street you’d probably have more luck building brand awareness.... Via Jeff Domansky

It is so intersting that Pintrest is gaining so much traction; I equate this to the old model of a beautiful house and home print magazine where females sit back with a cup of tea (or latte) and browse beautiful images allowing them to escapethe day's pressures for a little while. Also adding to this, is the fact that Pinterest is so incredibly easy to use. Unlike google+ !!!! Delete the scoop?
