Launched 6 years ago and their fourth attempt at a social network, (we thought we would throw in an extra fact) Google launched what is now know as ‘Google+.’ Unlike Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, it hasn’t really taken off in the same way, however this network operates differently, and acts more like a ‘social layer’ for other Google services such as YouTube.
Today is Social Media Day and this could actually be our favourite day of the year (apart from Christmas Day). It’s a great opportunity for us to introduce you to what platforms we each love so here goes:
When social media first appeared years ago, many just saw it as a way to catch up with old school friends and spy on their holiday snaps. However it’s become much more than that, especially for businesses who are looking to get their message out there; making it no longer optional for companies not be on social media.
If you haven’t used it, the feature allows you to take photos, add stickers and filters than add it to ‘your story,’ this lasts for 24 hours before the post automatically disappears. It also allows users to broadcast ‘live’ with the video automatically disappearing when the broadcast ends.
