5 Social Media Apps that May Blow Up in 2016
We hear so much about social media –– who’s remixing who, who comments what, and which latest app is trying to challenge the big players in the online world. With more features, plugins, and additions to your usual networks, there are some times when new apps emerge to challenge that status quo: what if you could connect with your loved ones in a new way? These “anti-establishment” applications are a gamble – they could either rise to the top or (belly) flop to the bottom.
This past week, I explored these “alternative” or lesser-known social networks to see what potential they had, if any, and whether they may be the next big thing within the coming year. So, ICYMI, here is a round-up of the most underrated social media apps – all Metter Media Intern approved.
Metter Media’s Social Media Resolutions for 2016
What’s your New Year’s resolution? While everyone is making weight goals, buying ClassPasses, and planting home gardens, we’re focusing on our #1 obsession: social media. After a year full of new social media developments, two new iPhones, and memes galore, we’re getting ready for whatever the new year brings us.
In 2016, the Metter team is making social media resolutions to keep ourselves on our toes both on and off the clock.
Here are our goals for the new year:
Joanna – I resolve to actually use my personal Twitter account.
Angela – To tweet more news-related content and things people will actually find useful!
Kristen – I resolve to stop reading Facebook comments, typing replies, and deleting them before posting. I shall scroll past from here on out.
Lauren – My New Year’s Resolution is to not freak out with anxiety when I get tagged in Facebook photos.
Danielle – My resolutions: Get back on my Instagram game. Make sure to check in to at least one place per day – either on Swarm or by posting a pic to other platforms!
Jasmine – I want to stop getting into arguments on comment threads.
James – I want to start being nicer on social media.
Lyssa – Stop mindlessly browsing my Instagram feed when I’m supposed to be watching a movie / talking to a human / sleeping.
Sarah – I resolve to keep all (okay, most) of my Snapchat stories under 60 seconds.
What’s your social media resolution? Comment below or tweet it at us!
