Week Two

The most common social media platforms that seem geared toward personal use are Facebook and Twitter. They both allow you to share whatever you want whether you want to communicate just between your friends or to anyone. Facebook is used kinda like a scrapbook while Twitter is best used to give updates to your followers.

Businesses like Facebook because it usually shows random posts on one's timeline, giving them a more likely chance to come across an ad. Twitter is used like this too, but companies like this to give updates to their consumers. Restaurants could introduce their followers to new dishes, or game companies can update their fans on deals and new content.

Both platforms are well suited for business just like they are well suited for anyone. They are easy to use and upload content while allowing a lot of freedom for people to post pretty much whatever they want. This gives businesses the easily accessible freedom to communicate with consumers and it works best as a marketing tool for them since everyone has social media.
