What’s the right platform for me?

Ask yourself:

• What do my family, friends or colleagues use?

• What content do I want to share and see? Twitter is great for up-to-the moment news, Facebook’s good for online chatting and photo sharing, Instagram is just for pictures and videos and Blogger’s good for longer pieces of writing.

• What do I feel comfortable with?• How much do I want to share?
