Week 2 social media platforms


  One social media platform I fell that’s geared towards personal use is Snapchat. Snapchat is a social media program that you can use to send sort videos or pictures to your friend with little animations. You can also post it so everyone in your friends list with on snap chat could see it. I feel the intentions of the program were for personal use, although some people still uses it to promote a business in ways. 
  One program I feel that was intended for business use is Linkein. Linkein is a social media site that has some of the same characteristics Facebook. Employers can search for qualified people for a position they want to fill, get a resume, or simply find an ex work associate. I feel that Linkein is geared towards business. 
  Facebook is a great social media site that works for both business and personal. Facebook actually has a Facebook business site. On the Facebook Business site you can post about your business and give the viewers more information about your business. You can also add friends just like the original Facebook. If you do not want to create a Facebook business account you can also just use the personal one just the same.

    Snapchat is slowly beginning to pick up speed, especially since stores are starting to use it as a more personal way of connecting with their customers. I used it for this reason at a boutique i managed for a few years. The addition of the "create a link" option has also greatly improved this platform. However, they are a niche social media tool. It's not intuitive and it definitely is a mix of vine and instagram.

    Interesting. I didn't really see Snapchat as a business focus, but it sounds like there is great potential for business use. Facebook business can also help to advertise a business and as business owner, you can target your customer base.

    I agree with you that Snapchat is geared more towards personal use. However I feel it can be used in a business sense as well. Snapping real-time events can attract customers or attendees to want to come support a business or event.
