Most Used Platforms
This was a really fun thing to learn about because I have never really looked into which social media platforms are used the most. For me the top three social medias have always been Instagram, Twitter, and snapchat. I believe that is becuase those were the top three at my high school, for some reason at my school Facebook was never a big thing people didn't really talk about it so it wasn't used very much. When doing a little research I found that the most used social media platform is Facebook with 1.59 billion active users, that is absolutely crazy to me. Now what I found really interesting is out of the 1.59 billion people who use Facebook on 1 million small/medium business owners use it as a marketing tool, I would have thought much more companies would be all over Facebook. As far as being professional and using social media as a form of marketing and advertising the best platform to use is LinkedIn. This website has over 400 million active users now in the world of advertising this is such an amazing website with over 24 language choices, this is such a wonderful place to display your self as well as a company.
The website livewire gave me in order of the most used social media platforms I will list those for you to view. 1) Facebook. 2) Twitter. 3) Linked In. 4) Google+. 5) Youtube. 6) Instagram. 7) Pinterest. 8) Tumblr. 9) Vine. 10) Snapchat. 11) Reddit. 12) Flickr. 13) Swarm by Foursquare. 14) Kik. 15) Yik Yak
The website DreamGrow was really neat to look at becuase it showed you in a bar graph the differences between all of the platforms. This chart was really helpful to me because it really put the numbers into perspective how many more users there are on each platform.
Another think that is very cool is that snapchat is going to go public hear in the next month or so. This means that you are able to buy stock in the company, giving you part ownership in the company. They are predicting that shared will be as good or better then Facebook was a few years back.

I think it is interesting how your high school did not use Facebook. Mine was all about it and would post everything there! I enjoyed your piece and liked how you put the whole list of the top used platforms! My advice would be to fix a few spelling and grammar mistakes in the last paragraph, but other than that you did a great job!
