While I was doing my research, I noticed that almost all of the businesses used of the same social media platforms.  With the exception of HP. I feel that all of the businesses used social media right to help promote their product. All of their social media sites were well put together and contained useful information about existing and upcoming products. One of the things I liked most that all of the businesses was YouTube. I liked that all of them had their latest commercial posted.  I feel that that is a great use of that social media tool.  I also noticed that YouTube was not updated as much as the other social media tools.

After reviewing all 5 companies and their social media use I discovered that they monitor and update their post routinely. With the exception of YouTube, all of the other social media sites were updated every day (except on weekends). It was a surprise to me when I noticed that HP used Linkein instead of Instagram. None of the other companies used that platform. I do not understand why they don’t use linkein. I also noticed that they had some of their post in Spanish on linkein.

Social media is very important for business. It is a great way for them to promote their businesses and product without spending a lot of money to do it. I understand that social media is not just for posting your latest vacation post. It has more of an huge impact for businesses for promoting. I understand the power of social media and the impact it has on our everyday life.

I read three great post from Maria G, Ploggins, and Maria O. I really enjoyed reading all of their post.
