Why Social Media?
Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world
more open and connected.
Twitter’s mission is to give everyone the power to create and share ideas
and information instantly, without barriers.
Pinterest is the visual bookmarking tool that helps you discover and save
creative ideas.
Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a
series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter
to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever.
