2017 is coming to a close in the matter of hours. That brings up the question, what exactly will social media look like on this date next year?

One thing is for certain. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and possibly Twitter will still be the giants of the social networking world unless something drastic happens.

Facebook

It’s hard to imagine, but Facebook is still growing. They’ve been in business for well over a decade and have shown no signs of slowing down. They have continued to improve the platform and have made so many changes over the years. This platform has adapted to be one of the biggest factors in video. Right up there with YouTube. They were one of the first platforms to roll out live video which is such a crucial aspect to this platform today.

Facebook incorporated Snapchat stories and personalized stories to best fit the platform. Stories have been a great addition which benefits the consumers a whole lot.

Additionally, Facebook ads are still one of the most important features. If you’re a business/brand, and you’re not using Facebook ads to promote your business/brand, then it would be a great idea to make that part of your new year’s resolution.
