Instagram

Instagram is changing how we share photos around the world. Instagram is an app on iPhones and Android devices that lets you put the photos you took under an array of filters and share them with the friends that follow you. Instagram allows you to geotag the location so that the user can see all the photos that were taken in that location as well. I enjoy instagram because I have a lot of friends that follow me that can see all the photos I post, like and comment on them. Instagram also has a tags feature where you can hashtag tags and that tag will link back to all the photos that have that tag on them. Instagram is an amazing device for sharing memories and photos from all around the world. Every since it has been bought by Facebook for 1 Billion dollars in 2012 it exploded in popularity. As of February 2013 it has 100 million users that use it every month after just a little over 2 years on the market i. Instagram is a great social media site. I enjoy it because up until recently it was only phones. There was no distraction of using Instagram on the computer and on the phone because it was just on the phone and it was all mobile. It was unlike Facebook which is on mobile and on desktop browsers.

How Twitter is Changing the World

6 years ago if something happened in the news you would turn on the tv or read on numerous websites about the situation from multiple sources. Nowadays if anything happens you can type in the relative keyword to twitter and all the information will be there, in one feed, at the same time for you to read. Twitter has changed the way we receive information every day. We can now follow anyone we want and hear what they have to say. We can follow celebrities, politicians, musicians writers, comedians, and follow their updates as they tweet news, shows, jokes, thoughts, and anything else. I personally dont use twitter for tweeting but I use it as a news source because I know what I will be given all the information, all sides of the story from multiple sources on one feed. It is instant information to your computer or phone and it is incredible. Never in history where we able to receive information this fast from as many sources. We share news, photos, music, jokes, and general thoughts on twitter for the world to hear and to respond back with their comments and thoughts. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you work, or how much money you make, or where you live, your voice will always be heard on Twitter. Twitter is one of the most revolutionary creations in recent history and it will only get better from here.
