If you want to keep in touch with family and friends these days, it's a must to have some type of social media account to do so. This even applies to those who work for themselves and have their own business since many people use these platforms for just about everything. If you are the type who just likes to see what others are up to and what they are discussing or sharing then using social media is the way to accomplish this as well.

There are many social media platforms, and they all have features that apply to some people but maybe not for others. This is why it's a good idea to try out multiple types to find what works the best for you.
