The World is a much more compact place today, largely owing to the advent of Social Media.We can get in touch with someone thousands of miles away within a second. But Social Media sites today are so much more than just tools for connecting people. Marketing, advertising, latest news updates, are all available via social media at the drop of a hat. But as is true with Darwinism, nothing can survive without updates or adapting to the times.
Following are the innovations and latest eye-catching features in the most popular social media sites in 2015:
1. Facebook – On This Day
So how have you evolved over the years? You can get a very clear idea about how cool or uncool you were a few years ago, or feel nostalgic looking at the photographs from that very day a few years ago. But mostly you’d ask yourself embarrassingly – “Did I really write that?”
2. Facebook - Video Calling on Messenger
Last year when Messaging on Facebook became an IM application, it kept up with the other bigwigs in the industry. So, now when WhatsApp, Viber and other IM App developers have rolled out Voice Calling on their platforms, how can Facebook stay behind? Lo and behold, they’ve gone one step ahead, you can now video call your contacts on Facebook. Doesn’t that make you happy?
3. Twitter – Mandatory Log in / Sign-up
Gone will be the days where you could sneak a peek at your favorite celeb’s latest photo, or a witty tweet without logging in to twitter or signing up for it. It is intellectual property, after all. One must pay, or in this case, sign in, to view it. NO freebies anymore.
4. Twitter – While You Were Away
Everyone would love to be online 24X7, but it isn’t always possible, is it? Say you’re following Manchester United vs. Liverpool, and Liverpool lead 3-0 at half time. You go out for a chore and are offline for the second half, and twitter greets you again when you’re online. The “While you were away” feature gives you all the updates you may have missed while you were offline. Final Result: Manchester United 4 – 3 Liverpool.
5. LinkedIn – Pulse
LinkedIn Pulse is a great way to show off to the world your content management skills. Professional Content, on the world’s largest professional network, curated by professional designers. There’s just one word for all this – Smart.
6. LinkedIn – Magic Mirror
This ingenious update, collates all your personal data on LinkedIn, runs a complex algorithm that combines your facial features, interests, future goals, certifications, and presents to you the career you were born to do. How is it any different from Aptitude tests, you ask? Well, it shows you a photo of yourself working as the person you were meant to be. Yes, it’s Harry Potter’s Mirror of Erised – LinkedIn Version.
