Although some of the social networks we used to use are no longer relevant, like MySpace or Hi5, others continue to gain ground and are undoubtedly a valuable asset to help some businesses grow.
There are social networks for all tastes and styles; if you prefer a more visual area, you might like Instagram for posting photos and sharing your daily moments in stories; if you prefer a more elaborate post with text, graphics, and creating ads to reach more people/customers, you'll prefer Facebook; LinkedIn is no longer just the "social network for hiring people" and is becoming more of a "Facebook" where you can make posts, add hashtags, and even create a company page… but hold on, it's still far from overtaking Facebook.
Facebook has existed since 4 February 2004 and was created by Mark Zuckerberg. On 4 October 2012, Facebook reached the milestone of 1 billion active users, making it the most active social network of all time!
Do you still remember the first version of Facebook?
Now it's completely different!!!
We can add a cover at the top, either as an image or video with the correct dimensions, we have a Menu with various settings, we can read our messages or the page's messages, check all notifications for comments, likes, and shares, check the Page Statistics…
Also, on the left-hand side, there are several tabs to access the "About" Menu of the page, where you can find information such as contacts, address, and other relevant info, we have the photo and video gallery, the reviews tab where customers can rate the page or the company's services…
Facebook is the most updated and improved social network; almost every day there are new features on this platform.
Besides this version, there is another, more recent one that the user can choose to use; it's a more mobile-style version and can be a bit confusing for beginners.
In this version, the Menu is in the top left corner, and all the information from the About Menu is displayed below.
And you, which version do you prefer?
Moving on to Instagram, we start by saying it's a mobile app where we can share photos and videos, includes chat, and we can also create fun stories.
It was launched in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, but it only really started to "take off" from 2017 onwards.
In 2012, it reached 80 million users worldwide, and Facebook acquired Instagram for approximately 1 billion dollars. In 2015, the platform launched the famous 'Boomerang' which turns images into repetitive mini videos.
Instagram has some features on the computer, but it is still limited in many ways. It is possible to post on this social network via computer (find out how here).
More than ever, the Online world is present in our daily lives, in our life! We deal with it every day, and it's like a piece of clothing – it can't be missing.
Whether it's to see the news, share our routine, advertise our company, attract customers, and grow our business.
