Social Media in a Post Modern Era  

Posted by Elliott Ebrahimi

We have all been exposed to the ways of social media and most of us have witnessed the expansion of the simple concept of maintaining a friendship online to the change in use of it for means of marketing. This carried with it the change in approach, as we find social networks accessible via nearly every type of informatic device. A mobile application for facebook is nothing new, yet windows took it a step further with the launch of their new phone the "Kin", specifically designed for users who are heavy users of social networking. They actually got someone to check out all their facebook friends and film their experiences, the marketing concept behind the launch of this phone is quite interesting.

This is a very good idea that will be very appealing for young adults because of the social media connection and high def video playing. Very small and a different shape which will also add to it's uniqueness. Microsoft has finally beat out apple for a better smartphone!

This phone looks really cool. So many people use their mobile phones for social networking now, Microsoft is smart to recognize that the way of the future of mobile devices must contain an optimized social media experience.

I love how you can choose specifically whose information you interact with on Facebook, and the ability to drag and drop content to share with your contents makes sharing really easy.
