Nowadays social media is a great part of our everyday live. We share experience, photos, videos and ideas and people from all over the world do the same. Due to our different preferences we have an enormous variety of social media, web and video blogs. However, it is not always a good idea to share every piece of your life, because people may give wrong interpretation of these posts. But there are not only personal pages but accounts made to share interesting or useful facts and funny pictures or videos. Two of the most visited social networks are Instagram and Pinterest.
Social media of new generation
Instagram was introduced in 2012 and today it is the fastest growing social media platform. Everyday over 100 million posts are uploaded and people produce over 10000 engagements every second just by tapping twice on their touchscreen. There are no pop-ups and people only see photos and videos on their home page. You can follow not only your friends but also:
- Celebrities
- Accounts created for fun
- Beauty blogs
- Cooking tips
- Daily inspiration
- Fitness motivation
The cutest pets have accounts created by their owners who not only share their experience with this animal but also give some useful pieces of advice. You can find photos and people similar who share your interests. Even better you can search for something just by typing a key word and using ‘#’ the so called hashtag. When you use a popular hashtag under your photo more people will see it and they can start following you even if they don’t know you. The only thing negative about this app is that the videos that are uploaded can’t be very long but the admins work to improve the app at all. A lot has changed through the years and that’s why people like it even though you can chat with your followers.
Interests on Pinterest
On the other hand, Pinterest is a completely different social network. It offers different opportunities to its users. When you create an account on Pinterest you choose the things you want to see on your ‘board’. But you can not only read articles, you can create them. Using again hashtags your posts will reach different readers. An article on Pinterest usually leads to blogs and people use the app to share widely their experience. Which may be boring and time consuming to open a page after page. But the truth is that you can find really useful and interesting information. No matter whether you are looking for some home remedies or for healthy cooking recipes, you are at the right place. You can recommend stores and services for example if you recently have used a rubbish removal company’s services you can share it to your friends, so they will know who to call next time. While using this website you not only share you experience, but you can communicate with others and save some ‘pins’ for later.
Pinterest is not the typical social media for photos and chatting with friends, but it helps you be creative. When you don’t have the time to read articles but you want some good photos, open your Instagram.
