Although anyone can sign up for social media, social media platforms have become an important part of marketing any kind of business. The key to successful social media work is to use it with special care and attention.

Twitter is slightly different from Facebook because it has a message limit of about 165 characters and your social circle is not limited to friends but you can follow anyone. You can get your message across to people by including short messages, photos, animations and videos. But these days Twitter is being used by our sub-news channels, politicians and celebrities. It has become an effective and popular means of communication.

You can follow any person to get updates on their messages and forward them via retweet. Twitter is considered to be the official source of news to some extent. Instagram is the fastest social network of photos and videos. Its popularity is due to its ease of use, easy provision of photo filters and easy sharing on other social networks.

There is a big difference in the rate of internet users in developed and developing countries. The rate of Internet users in developed countries is 81%. More than 100 million people in the world use social media, according to the 2018 statistics.

Interesting post, Charles Hoskinson said technology no longer moves at the speed of light but at the speed of thought....it really makes sense seeing how rapid these developments are over the years, but people have an habit of underrating this speed, they want everything now, even that which has not been thought of, now!
