What about the future of Social Media?

The world of Social Media moves fast, and Parapex Media monitors more than just the current favourites. The following are all potentials for becoming widely accepted in English speaking countries for business use. Taking the icons left to right:-

  • TikTok - short videos, similar to Vine (which was bought by Twitter and then closed down by them), reported 732 million accounts and fast increasing Western World audience take-up. Sister app for the Chinese market Douyin has a further 600 million users

  • Firework - Short video, launched March 2018 by ex-employees of SnapChat and LinkedIn. Potential buyout for $100M by Facebook or Google.

  • WT:Social - Mix of Facebook, Wikipedia and Reddit (and….) set up by Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder

  • Weibo - Chinese equivalent of Facebook (521 million)

  • Kuaishou - Chinese video sharing app - known as “Kwai” outside China (481 million)

  • Yingke - Short video and livestream (140 million)

  • Meipai - Short video and livestream (170 million)

  • Nice - Photo sharing - similar to Flickr

  • VK - Russian equivalent of Facebook (60 million)

Every single organisation is different, and there is no "one size fits all" solution, and we work with you to advise and implement the best mix for your particular business.  See our Portfolio to see a selection of examples of where we have used Social Media to help particular businesses.
