Social Media's Hidden Gems

Picture from Article

Social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat have become a prominent part of our culture. With all the hype over those outlets, some other forms of social media are being neglected. An article from T3 by David Nield brings up 10 social media outlets that you may have never heard of. If you want a little more information and another opinion about these 10 gems, definitely take a look at the article!

1. Peach: Peach seems to be another way to post statuses for everyone to see. (look out for the diary entries) Looking at their website, the app seems like it could be interesting but they are lacking in the information department.

2. Ello: Ello seems to be a place for people to share artistic ideas and thoughts in one huge feed of posts. You can scroll through the feed without making an account, which is pretty neat. 

3. Beme: Beme is something you would get if Youtube and Snapchat got together and made a little social media baby called baby Beme. Basically, the user makes a video, and shares it..then once it is seen, it disappears. (sounds like trouble to me)

4. Yik Yak: Ah Yik Yak....looking for anonymous status updates from around your area? Look no further, you have found the right app!

5. Untappd: Not only is the name clever, but the app is clever as well! This is social media all based around beers and bars. If you like going out with friends to have a drink but can never decide on where to go, Untappd is social media all based around finding that place.

6.Path: Path is pretty interesting, it is all about close friends. The app only allows the user to add a certain amount of friends. There is also an option for private sharing and public sharing. 

7. Kik: Kik is just a straight forward messaging app. User's can message anyone who has a Kik, and also different chat Bots now as well. 

8. ASKfm: ASKfm is basically the new Formspring. The whole social media app is all about asking other people anonymous questions, and getting answers from them. (it can get pretty brutal).

9. Oovoo: Oovoo, meet Skype. Skype, meet Oovoo. 

10. Telegram: This is a messaging app that is based on security and speed above all else. The user can send documents of any type, and send messages that self-destruct based on a timer.
