Social Media Tools

In this blog post, I will be exploring two different social media tools that I have not mentioned before. The first one is the Google Plus App. I, personally, have never utilized this tool, but after some extensive research, will definitely begin using. Google plus is a social media network owned by Google. The application contains basic social network services, such as a profile picture, a list of interests, location, a biography section etc. This allows the site to compete with other social networking sites, such as Instagram, Twitter, and even Facebook. One feature that caught my eye was "Circles". By enabling this feature, an individual can share specific content to only a certain circle of people. In this way, content is not overshared, but instead shared to a smaller audience. Stream, being the main page, allows users to see people within their circles and communities to see updates and posts regarding their businesses and their lives. And lastly, this page can be used as the background to many other sites, such as Google Maps, Google Play, YouTube etc. all making it easier to navigate through social media. I can definitely create an account and use this in the future. Not only will I be more easily able to contact my friends and family, but I can use this professionally for school purposes. By using this for school reasons, my workload will be more organized and easier to access and share with peers. 

The next web tool that I am going to explore within this blog post is called, MavSocial. This is a content management tool that allows users to access all their social media within one site. Not only does this tool allow organization and management, but it also allows users to create and publish their work directly to the social media platform. One tool that caught my eye was the digital asset managing tool. This allows users to access their stock library and perform photo editing on their future content. This is inclusive of videos, images, and audio files. This next feature that was interesting was the campaign planning. This allows individuals to make a professional campaign for marketing. In this way, social media, for all the sites that a user has, is made to be professional and concise. I can definitely see myself using this tool. I could use this tool to improve my organization of social media. Although I do not use social media too often or too vastly, for the sites I do have, I would like to stay professional. By utilizing the different features of MavSocial, I will be able to stay on top of my social media account for business and professional purposes, while maintaining a proper reputation.
