Wk 7: Conversational Social Media

As I am very aware of new social media platforms that are used and become trending on a daily basis. But I also try not to go on social media to much because I don't like it to consume my time too much. For that I rather just have a couple of social media apps. I only have the social media platforms I need. But that doesn't mean that I am not aware of other social platforms. I am very aware and know about most. 

Tumblr for example was a very huge hit when I was in elementary school and now it isn't used as much but people truly like the nostalgia that it brings. Now a days I don't see that much people using it. Recently threads became a new feature on instagram, it's kind of like instagram and x combined. I believe it has many users but as mentioned before I am not on it. It does pop up as a recommendation when scrolling through instagram but it truly hasn't caught my attention. 

Already on the topic X (previously twitter) has been popular for many years. Mainly because there are a lot of news throughout there and important communications come directly from there. I am gen-z and I don't know if it has to do with anything but I don't find much interest in it because I feel like it's just words. Or maybe because I am more of a visual person, but besides that I do know it's a very good platform to stay inform and for emergencies it's very important so I do have to give it that. 

Linkedin is a platform I am not very familiar with but I do know a lot of professionals use it as a portfolio of their work. I think for this reason it's very good because people can get to know you more in a professional way. Although I haven't seen much businesses using it I see more people using it. But it is still very helpful in using it. 

Now after all my thought's on all of the conversational social media platforms I think for my business I would use X now I know I said that I personally don't use it and I mentioned my reasons. I said that as a personal belief now that changes when it comes to a business. A business has opportunities to communicate with their customers, announce upcoming events, etc. You can also build engagement with other brands (in this case coffee shops). I might put my business on there in the future.
