Facebook, Twitter, Instagram: What Next?
This is an article about all of the social networks out now. What will be next? I hope you all enjoy! There are so many social networks out there right now, and it is becoming too much of a hassle to have so many accounts in so many places at once, so what is the best social network out there that will help your business, blog, and help you keep in touch with your friends, family, and co-workers?

How to Deal with Social Media in 2019
I've noticed how much social media use has turned sour. When I created social media accounts back in high school, it was just plain fun. I would update people on what I was doing, thinking, eating, and posted a lot of pictures with my friends.

100+ Contemporary Figurative Artists on Instagram
I spend most of my day on social media working for a group of figurative artists who are constantly being banned because, many times, the nude comes into play into their paintings. Some of the artwork is so realistic that the bots can't tell the difference between a painting and a photograph. Figurative artwork varies from hyperrealism to abstracts. I don't blame the robots for thinking a painting by Anne-Christine Roda of a full frontal nude is not a photograph or a hyperrealism painting by Eloy Morales is not a real floating baby.

How Small Startups Can Use Social Media
For living a life of financial independence nowadays, many ambitious people are more inclined towards a startup than working for someone else. For any startup that started with a small budget, marketing is a huge challenge. Thankfully, due to technology, all small startups can use social media as a way to promote their services or products to the people. Social media can be used for the active engagement of the audience. The costs for social media marketing are really low and the reach can be huge. You can take some time to learn social media marketing and enjoy traffic at no cost at all. However, there are some techniques that you need to learn to manage social media properly. It is also necessary to, at first, target only one social media platform instead of focusing on many in the initial stage to get maximum user attention and focus your marketing strategy in only one social media.

Why the Instagram Algorithm Prefers Educational Content
Instagram is inherently a selfish platform. Most people don’t sign up to post pictures of other people. They sign up to post about themselves.

Behind a Screen
Behind a screen... Everything is easier from behind a screen, it's easier to hide, to ignore, to hurl abuse at people, virtual strangers. It's easier to speak out, because at the end of it? It's all from behind a screen. No one knows you, no one cares to know you. Why go out into the world and meet people when you can meet people over the internet, right? You don't even have to leave the comfort of your home. The world has become far too digital, I'm not even two decades old, but the younger generations make me feel older. I remember going out with my friends and playing hopscotch, or making mud pies, or climbing trees, doing kid stuff, you know? All the children of today know are computer screens and iPhones. The only thing they worry about is how many likes and followers they have on Instagram, or who's prettier. They don't understand the word socialise, they text back and forth without even really knowing who they're speaking to. After all, there's more to a person than just a face and name, right? The world is a lot more dangerous than people think, however I'm starting to wonder, maybe the digital world is far more dangerous, physically and mentally, especially to children. I have a 13-year-old niece, and to be honest I've never been more disappointed in technology. Because of technology she has been through far too much. Bullying is bad and hurtful. When I was younger I was bullied greatly, but I found comfort in my home, where the walls seemed like an impenetrable fortress in which no one could hurt me. My niece doesn't have that, she comes home to a place that is supposed to be her safe haven, and is still verbally abused by people over the internet and social media. Because just as it's perhaps safer behind a screen, it's also far more dangerous...

How Smartphones Are Changing the World
As soon as smartphones became a reality, the social fabric of the entire planet was destined to change. As always with change, some things were good, some were amazing, and some were bad.

Social Media Madness: The Block
I don't know about you, but I must laugh at people online sometimes. Now, assuredly, they laugh about me as well, but that's something to analyse at a different time.

Reason First: The Cult of Negativity
There is no censorship for privately held companies. By force, only a government body can shut down, silence, or render an “offender” as not part of a specific entity. For Facebook and Instagram to ban the accounts of Alex Jones, Minister Louis Farrakhan, and Milo, among others, demonstrates the sharp judgement of Mark Zuckerberg and Co.
