• Social media is essentially a tool that allows 
word of mouth marketing to extend across

“Facebook was not originally created to be a 
company. It was built to accomplish a social 
mission - to make the world more open and 
connected.” - Mark Zuckerberg 
YouTube was built for home use and Facebook 
was never intended to be a marketing tool – this 
was the age of innocence. 
People slowly, through their needs, pushed 
these channels to become what they are today.
