Who's who in the social media zoo?

Well hello there!

I am your very own social media zoo keeper.

Alright then, I am sure you’re all wondering what exactly this blog is all about right? I figured since we all love our social media and social networking so much I’d introduce to you some of social media’s most influential individual’s to date…..HOWEVER, you all may not recognise most of these people, and NO! They are not your everyday celebs that you hear about on television, in magazines and on television. These people are what I like to call “THE UNSUNG HERO’S OF THE WEB” If you’re interested in the intriguing world of the digital era, this blog is for you! YES YOU!!

So in my very first post I have a link for you guys, you can check out who is who in the social media zoo, drop your comments, and hey you may be the next big web hit , who knows!

  1. Social Media influencers help us to get to know the different trends that are out there. It also influence the way we think and view ourselves based on what other people say. They make us aware of what to do and say and how to sometimes think about the topics they talk about.

    1. True Nomfundo, I agree with you on that, where would we be without this zoo called "the social media", and more especially without those who are major social media influences. We basically live our lives according to those who influence us on-line.

  5. Social media influencers are playing a very important role ,they have a capability of building up a brand in a positive manner ,but one thing I tend to question is do they always talk positively about a particular brand or do lie and hide some facts inorder to make the brand noticeable ?

    1. I agree with your comment but that is why we have blogs and other platforms for consumers to provide their experience, and also this has made it challenging for brands to actually mislead or lie about their brand.

  6. Influencers are everywhere, but I think the ones that are making the the most significant difference are those on social media networks. I mean look at how their social media accounts are flooded with messages from fans and followers, each wanting to be part of their world.

    1. I agree. Media influences also guides people on the media. This helps the media from flooding with unnecessary information and also they hold the names and reputations of brands as well as companies

    3. I see your point Caylan. Many a times social media is flooded with unnecessary messages, comments, requests and so forth,but it can be a positive thing as well because the more people respond to a brand on-line, the more influential and prominent they became
