Social media is an internet-based activity where users create and participate is communities, find jobs, advertise, share information and ideas and personal message. Some examples of where this happens are the likes of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tumblr, Youtube, reddit and snapchat. Each of these companies are called “platforms” and have their own way of sharing information whether it be videos, just images, short statuses, blogs, messages that disappear in seconds or a full blown community of chat groups and basically everything you need in one place such as Facebook. Social media icons look like mine below.
