Post 2 : What are social media tools?

Task 2:


In this post you must list and briefly describe (in your own words) five different types of social-media tools and applications.  Provide links to each of the homepages of the social media described.

 Some examples of social media sites and applications include Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Digg, blogs and other sites that have content based on user participation and user-generated content (UGC).

1.  Facebook
 Facebook is the Internet's most widely used social network, with nearly 1 billion people using it to connect with old friends and meet new ones. Its stated mission is to make the world "more open and connected" by connecting people and facilitating communication between them.

2. Twitter
Twitter is on online news and social networking site where people communicate in short messages called tweets. Tweeting is sending short messages to anyone who follows you on Twitter, with the hope that your messages are useful and interesting to someone in your audience. Another description of Twitter and tweeting might be micro blogging.

3.Instagram
Instagram is a social networking app made for sharing photos and videos from a smartphone. Similar to Facebook or Twitter, everyone who creates an Instagram account has a profile and a news feed

4.Snapchat
To make a long story kind of short, snapchat is an app that truly changed how people interact with friends compared to other popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Not everyone gets it — particularly older adults — but Snapchat sure is all the rage among the youngest smartphone users, including teens and young adults.

5.Digg
Digg is a social news site that can help drive traffic to your blog. However, Digg is the biggest social news site on the Internet controlled by a handful of top users.
