Week 2 part 1 Overview of Social Media

With so many social media tools available on the internet today, it is hard to decipher which one is the best for an individual and/or a business.  In my particular circle of friends, we use SNAP CHAT
to communicate and show our friends family what we are up to and share moments we feel are memorable.  This particular tool is fast and the pictures and videos we post keep us laughing all the time.  We also use this tool for at quick shout out to everyone when we are planning an event and want to see if others want to join us.  For those who want to join in or learn more they can send a personal chat.

For business, I believe LINKEDIN is the best tool.  Although I have not joined or used this platform, I have looked it over with my mom. She is an owner of an petroleum distribution company.  Each day she gets regular updates on colleagues and friends throughout the world on what is going on in their business.  She has added competitors to her friend to keep an eye on what new products are being developed.  More importantly, she can keep track of key people in her industry as they move from one company to another.  On this tool, no one cares that you took a trip to Paris nor does anyone want to see how cute your dog is.


In my opinion, I believe FACEBOOK is the best tool to share business and personal interest.  Anyone can connect to a person's page or a business page all in the same program.  Depending on who or what business pages you follow, you can get a lot of information.  FACEBOOK seems to give you the best feedback as far as people liking and sharing your post.
