International perspective of Social Media

Standard

Social media around Manchester has some parts of it going on…

At restaurants you can see a lot of social media icons being used such as Follow us on Twitter or Like a Facebook page. The two social platforms are more popular than any other social platforms, which means this is the only way internationals can contacts it by. I have only seen few QR codes used within a University advertisement and magazines (couldn’t get a hang of any pictures but I do actually remember seeing them in these certain places! sorry)

By sharing information like this through social websites also explains what kind of culture around the Manchester area has from what others see about the Manchester area from other cities.

I have seen a lot of people use Check-in and also other sorts of Social platforms like ‘Foursquare’ (which I personally use my self) which is more like a feedback of the places you been to or you have checked in at so other users can see how much it is rated out of whatever and what the place is all about. This app on phones can help a person learn about the place, town, country or whatever.

This would improve and would also increase a number of buyers and traffic from all over the world.

 

 

Social Media in the Photography industry

Standard

Social Media has many advantages in the photography industry around Manchester.

There are many people out in the manchester region who love photography. These photographers show their work through a social platform such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Flickr, name it, they all show their work through these websites. The purpose for this is to connect with potential clients who would love to get professional photos taken for their special day such as, Weddings, Birthdays, or any other private to business events.

I have seen many clubs that also use Facebook to share photos with their clients from the previous nights partying as it is easier to share than getting everyone contact and sending them privately; this option would be the easiest route of all to collect pictures that are at the interest of clients.

For those who are making there way up to becoming a proffesional or just for interest uses, there are mobile apps used for mobile users, which can be taken from anywhere edited and uploaded to a social platform, to show your peice of art work.

Manchester is a creative, energetic and cosmopolitan city noted for its music scene, media links and industrial past.Manchester has many social media scenes, which has the famous Media City UK, that includes channels of Cbeebies and BBC channels as well as ITV. This place is worth visiting. Also the very famous ‘East is East’ film is made in Salford, Manchester, which has captured every ones heart as it is a very funny.
