Social media is a growing phenomenon for everyone<\/strong> of all genders and ages. When the internet first launched way back when, it wasn\u2019t used like it is today.<\/p>\n

Now, social media is used the most every single day<\/strong>. It\u2019s something that has helped many people<\/a> grow due to information being available within just a few clicks of a virtual button. Friendships across the Atlantic and Pacific have been created and have been able to continue due to all kinds of texting and video messaging apps and social networking websites.<\/p>\n

If you need to know about something<\/strong> that happened in history or science, you can Google it<\/a>. If you need to know what\u2019s going on with your friend that lives five thousand miles away, you can send them a message on Facebook<\/strong>. If you need to organize your life, there\u2019s something on the internet for that.<\/p>\n

If you need a job, you\u2019re more than likely going to find one on a website. So many YouTubers<\/a>, bloggers, and your everyday businessmen and businesswomen have found jobs thanks to social media<\/strong>. It\u2019s all about making the right connections.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to talk about eight of the biggest social media websites<\/strong> and apps with over one billion users at this time.<\/p>\n

8. Facebook Messenger<\/h2>\n

On August 9, 2011, Zuckerberg<\/a> created Facebook Messenger to go with the original app, Facebook. It was meant to make it easier to message people on the go<\/strong> even though you could still use it on the website.<\/p>\n

The only real downside that people thought of when it came to this app was when it was removed from Facebook itself<\/strong> on March 5, 2014 and people were then forced to download the app onto their phone if they wanted to continue messaging their friends on Facebook while mobile.<\/p>\n

7. LinkedIn<\/h2>\n

\"LinkedIn<\/p>\n

LinkedIn is different from most social media<\/strong>. While the other ones are more for personal relationships, this one is more for business. It can be used to find jobs to apply for<\/strong> and to find people in need of jobs to hire.<\/p>\n

The website is available in twenty four languages including but not limited to English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and more. As of September 2015, there are 396 million registered accounts<\/strong> and a hundred million active users.<\/p>\n
