In recent days, almost everyone has got a smartphone or a tablet, if not a computer. As such, these people can't seem to live without social media apps and of course myself!
Look at these social media apps on which have been installed in my smartphone.
Facebook - A must have social media app to me. On Facebook, I've got many friends who are living all around the world. We do not meet each other for a real long time but Facebook has given me the chance to know what is happening to my friends.
Facebook Messenger - This app is part and parcel of Facebook app which allows me to chat with friends on Facebook.
Instagram - An app to post interesting photographs with various filters. It links to Facebook and Twitter.
Hangouts - This app used be to known as "Google Talk" or we commonly called it GTalk. I started using GTalk since I started working. My seniors likes using GTalk while talking to each other. Hmmm... for some reasons. Recently, Google has come out with Hangouts that replaces GTalk. It's a little difficult to adapt with the new app honestly. My contacts in my earlier GTalk has gone missing and I have to manually add in our contacts one by one. I do not really appreciate this thing.
Twitter - I used to twit a lot when this app firstly launched. Unlike Facebook, it is mainly an app that allows its users to post a short note. It is now an app for me to know the latest news as I've followed many news page.
Weibo - This is like a Chinese Twitter. This app is quite awesome. Many artistes from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong has official accounts on this media. It allows me to follow these artistes and I get updates about them through this space. Quite cool! There are also various interesting accounts that gives me good reads.
Skype - Skype is commonly used by people for video call over the computer. Honestly speaking, I've not used the app on my phone. I'm not sure why did I even install it. LOL!
Line - This app is just another messenger app but it comes with very cute stickers. However, another interesting part of Line is that it comes with few side games. You can send any game requests to your contacts on Line.
Pintrest - This is an interesting app. It allows us to pin any pictures onto the wall. You can also repin other's pictures as well by categorising them into various category. Oh well, I hardly use this app but I will still browse through it when I'm bored.
WeChat - This app is quite similar to Line app. The interesting part of this app is that you can add and chat with anyone in the world. What you need to do is just searching by shaking your phone or let the phone identify users using GPS function. That's sounded cool but I'm refraining from that. I will not chat with strangers too easily.
Viber - This is an app which is commonly use for voice call via internet data. It is useful when you have unlimited internet data else it wouldn't help much in cost saving.
Last but not least, Whatsapp! Looks like many people can't live without this app anymore. This app has almost replaced the traditional SMS. It's like an all time app where we will be chatting, sending pictures, emoticons, voice messages, etc.
There are countless applications on Google Play or iTunes for social media. How many of them are really very popular among the users around the world?
