 Social Media: The Heart Of The Internet

Author : SAANVI KURADAGI

Hey there netziten! I am sure you have heard of Tik Tok by now. It’s a really popular video sharing app with over 1 billion users. As you know a thousand miles begins with a step so, why don’t we look at how some billion dollar social media companies started out.

Facebook

Facebook was first launched by Mark Zuckerberg ,a Harvard sophomore, in 2004. He originally made the social media website for Harvard students to connect to one another .Within the blink of the eye It had already spread to all the other schools in Boston and had over a million users. When Peter Theil invested $500,000 into the app, Mark Zuckerberg left Harvard to run Facebook from his new headquarters in California. Being the most successful social media site today has a net worth of $111 billion and over 2 billion monthly users.

Twitter

Twitter was launched by Odeo ,a podcasting company, in 2006.It’s original name was “Twttr” but was soon changed to “twitter” because of the bird-like sound it makes when you get a notification. It is also referred to as microblogging. It’s popularity increased when president Trump started tweeting his political statements. It has a net worth of $25 dollars and over 321 million monthly users.

Instagram

Instagram was launched by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in 2010. The main purpose of the app was to only share videos and images with your followers unlike twitter, which only relies on text, and Facebook, which relies both text and images. The word Instagram is a combination of “instant camera” and “Telegram”. It’s net worth is $100 billion and has over 1 billion monthly users.

To sum it up, Social media is one of the best things on the internet right now and usually makes billions of dollars with a million active users.

  My passion Everyone has their own passion. My passions are art and cooking. Since childhood, I have learnt drawing and painting which had both modern and traditional arts. I have learnt one-point perspective, caricature, cartoon, paper collage, traditional art forms etc. I made these art works using colour pencils, crayons, soft pastels, water colours, oil pastels etc. Nowadays I am trying to draw traditional art forms like Warli, Madhubani, Kalighat, Mural, Pattachithra, Gond, Miniature etc. I was so excited when I received India Book of Records. I make art works on A4 size or A3 papers, cardboard, canvas etc. I will be making new and creative art every week. I am planning to do certificate courses and join classes to become more perfect. Art makes very happy and gives me satisfaction. I feel so proud. My other passion is cooking. I love spicy and lip smacking dishes. I learn cooking from my grandmother, mother and youtube channels. I also watch Master Chef Australia where the p...
