Social Networks Concept Map
Social Networks
Social Networking is the "bread and
butter" in the world of technology. It is often uncommon to come upon
someone in today's working world that does not have any form of social media.
While Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+ are the most popular
among college students, there are many more forms of networking available. In
education social networking is on the rise, schools today are often using these
programs to have better connection between parents and administration. For
example: Rankin County School District has a Facebook and Twitter account ran
by their Informational Technology Department to relay messages from the
Superintendent to the Parents about important
events that could take place from school closures, or emergency events.
Instagram is a miniature version of photoshop, but
in application form. This allows the user to apply preloaded filters on to
photos that they wish to upload to the social network of their choice.
Instagram was launched in October of 2010 with the intent of allowing users to
"amp" up their photos with ease, soon Facebook would catch wind and
buy this application . Users can use hashtags (#) to link their photos to
certain events or sayings. For example: #SMTTT.

This social network launched in 2004 with the intent
of connecting Harvard and other Ivy League schools to one website, so came the
birth of FaceMash (Soon to be renamed The Facebook). Mark Zuckerburg's intent
was for this website to connect college students all over the world together,
but it soon broke wind into highschools and even adults. Now Facebook is the
biggest social networking site in technological history. With Facebook
businesses can show to their consumers the inventory in stores, or even
motivational speakers can share with their audience where and what they are
speaking on or about. The most common use for Facebook is to post pictures,
statuses, and events that is pertinent to the user's life, so that other users
may comment and see whats going on in someone else's world.

2. Statues
Twitter is a simpler version of Facebook. It allows
the user to post statuses bound to 140 characters. The user can use hashtags
(#) to connect their tweets to an event or others tweets to see what is popular
and what is trending. Schools are getting really involved in this movement
because of how simple the updates are for parents!

Completely different from the updates for
educational purposes, Pinterst has become the world wide women's sites for
anything and everything. A board for recipes and and quick tips for the busy
moms who does not have the time for a super fancy dinner. From seasonal holiday
crafts, to classroom activities anyone can get their creative juices flowing
through this application. It is now available for both the Internet use, as
well as on iPhones and iPads.
