What is Social Media?

Social Media is an electronic forum dedicated to inform its users of information. It is a channel to communicate with the wider community to gain feedback from others whether that be through likes, comments, subscriptions or even 'thumbs up'.

Social media sites may also have a personal message system that sends messages to individuals directly instead of posting on their online forum.

It is mainly used by individuals to share content to increase communication.

Commenting on Another Blog

I commented on Sharon's blog with the comment: 'Love a good building! The last movie I watched was 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', do recommend. A true classic.' I hadn't seen Monty Python since I was young, and it was very enjoyable to re-watch.

Recommended Tools for Social Media Engagement

The two social media tools I would recommend libraries to use are: Facebook and Instagram. This is due to the high amount of users 'reposting' or 'sharing' posts on these sites. Facebook is a popular site for people to discover 'what's new' and with the high amount of individuals tagging friends in posts, inviting to events and the overall sharing of posts and events allows organisations to reach a much broader audience. Instagram is recommended due to their 'discovery page', this is a function set up by Instagram for individuals to find relevant posts that are similar to those that the user has 'liked'. If an organisation ends up on the discovery page, they are able to reach an audience that may not have known about them otherwise, growing their customers.
