Sharing information quickly

Sharing information quickly-

Sharing information over the internet has become increasingly popular over the past few years as to complete the task has become a lot more easy and accessible, and as the amount of people that have a social media account has gone over the 1 billion mark. When people share information in the various forms it can also be used to promote businesses. An example of this is the film ‘Despicable Me’, the company that the film belongs to has used one of the favorite characters from the film to promote the film. The way that this particular company has done it is they have used the ‘Minions’ from the film and created many funny videos using them which they place on social networking sites, often on their page, and then users who like or follow the page will see the videos and share it in-between their friends and so more and more people will see the video and want to go and see the film.

Some artists have been found by record labels as the video has ‘gone viral’ because millions of social networking users have shared a particular video and they then become famous (e.g. Facebook famous), Justin Bieber is an example of this.

On sites such as Facebook it has been added on to the website where if you are logged in and like a certain page, e.g. Coca Cola, Facebook will then advertise that Facebook page to your friends saying ‘Aimee Jones likes this’ and then that page will get a lot more views and then more business will be created.
