Social media is what our world revolves around today. For some, it is the guide to survival, or the “easy” way out of a lot of things. Social media plays a reminder to some everyday lives, and even helps others get jobs, (as well as lose them). Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad things that come with social media, as well as good. Social media is the key to business survival. Think about it, what if one was to open a business and chose not to use social media versus someone who did the opposite. Who do you think would get a bigger crowd? How would the public know about this new company without ideal advertisement? Things like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linked In, Indeed, and many others are what helps a lot of people out. Take me for example, I am currently interviewing for a position that I located on Indeed, which is a website that posts several job openings for anyone to apply.

Personally, I think that Facebook is the most important for business, only because I know of some people who have grown into something very big and very well-known just by posting promotions, advertisements, and so on. Twitter is also a very helpful site for a lot of businesses. I personally do contests on there sometimes that other companies are hosting. The only downfall about Twitter is that you are limited to how many characters you can post at one time.

Instagram is my favorite, only because I feel like it is very easy to track what a company is all about through their pictures and updates.

In conclusion, I personally find these websites helpful. They all give businesses an idea of what a person is like before they bring them into their company. They also help promote and help businesses grow. Everyone is big into technology now, so it truly is a key factor to be a technology-friendly business in today’s world.
