Twitter

Think of Twitter as a blogging website but a live mini version that allows you to connect with people from across the world sharing thoughts and ideas through what is called tweeting. Twitter was one of the most clever forms of social media due to the instant posting from users all over the world. There isn't anyone you can't follow on twitter from celebrities to athletes to even personal icons.

Jack Dorsey created twitter to enable text messaging to have a cross platform capacity, work on phone, computers and other devices.  Twitter's value is in the billions as a platform that was started as free social messaging tool. The twitter bird is a mountain bird with a little bit of humming bird added in. The bird symbolizes a representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility according to former creative director of twitter Doug Bowman. Twitter has grown to become apart of the mainstream over the course of the last 11 years as an outlet for news, sports and pop culture updates. 

People I follow on twitter are other college students of South Carolina State University to stay updated with whats going on with the student life on campus. Followers such as Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey tweet inspirational and motivational quotes.

Twitter continues to expand its brand as users continue to tweet millions of tweets daily. 

Linkedin

Linked is a social media platform established for business and employment oriented goals of networking. The platform is used for searching for employment opportunities and as an employer recruitment tool. Any and everyone trying to expand their professional network has a a LinkedIn. 

There are many features that can be utilized on the site such as the recommender and endorser. This feature allows for individuals to give you accreditation on previous employment and skills. The professional gallery is essentially your resume but a short hand copy of it, to showcase previous work experiences. 

Xavier Black a biology senior at Claflin University, also one of my connections professional galley is well presented and articulated about his skills and assets he can bring to a company. His profile picture could be better even though he is professionally dressed in the photo, his eyes are closed. 

On my Linked site the goal is to convert a college student with a vast amount of experience in the field of communication essentially enough to earn an entry level portion at a marketing/ PR firm upon graduation
