Is there any better social network site than Facebook?
Well, Firstly, better in what terms?If you are looking for scale & reach then Facebook is Number1. 2 Billion users are on Facebook with 600 Million users on Instagram which Facebook has bought, so no other social media is going to get any bigger sooner & even if any other platform is going to get bigger I am assuming Facebook will buy it off.Now that we have established that for scale & reach Facebook is going to be the market leader.Let us look at other social media platforms & what they are known for.Pinterest - >150 Million users are on Pinterest & around 93% of the users are either actively planning or buying products on Pinterest. Pinterest has just started gathering traction in India & the feature of “Promoted Pins” which will allow you to run ads of your pins to other users is yet to be launched in India. Pinterest is best for B2C companies looking to sell products.LinkedIn - >450 Million users are active on LinkedIn & it is the best known professional network in the world. It is great for B2B networking & for professional growth. So if you are a business which caters to other businesses then your presence on LinkedIn is a must.Twitter - 330 Million users are on Twitter. Twitter can be used to create trending topics to create buzz but the name of the game in Twitter is to post multiple times a day the same post & to retweet previous posts. Can help with B2B businesses.Snapchat - Newest Kid on the block & has 150 Million active users who login into the platform daily. If your products cater to audience from 13 - 18 years then Snapchat is the platform for you. Snapchat faces lots of importance on videos so to be active you should be ready to create lots of video content.You can get more information on these specific platforms, their ideal audience & some examples from our blog: A Beginners Guide to Social Media Marketing 2018Hope that helpsThanksSirishaFounder, Head-Marketingwww.brandingbypixels.com
Can a social media site like Facebook be built on the WordPress platform?
WordPress is a blogging platform.Facebook is a social platform that has possibly the most advanced advertising platform integrated. They’re building a dedicated server complex in the artic (to keep the servers cooler).More importantly, Facebook has had massive capital investment (millions) which were needed to build this infrastructure and maintain it.Hundreds of people designed and built this, with incredible amounts of money - and it’s still not perfect…Seriously, if you try to even take this on, you’ll keel over from the sheer stress when you’re $500 million in debt, your massive development team is 4 years behind schedule and you’re served with a notice from the council to dismantle the 7 football pitches you’re using as your server housing unit because they’re spoiling the view :)Even if you could come up with BookFace dot com… you’ll then have the impossible task of trying to convince Facebook’s userbase to leave them and come and play on your platform.Go after a different goal, my friend :) (but nice try)Hoz
Is Quora way better than Facebook, Instagram or any other social networking sites?
Yes, yes and a big, absolute YES!Facebook, Twitter and Instagram don’t provide you a writing-platform. Even if they do, people are simply interested in chatting and sharing. They use these sites differently. While on Quora, you get to interact with intellectual people and are able to burgeon your knowledge about every other thing.So, in my opinion, Quora is just not better, it’s the best!Thanks
