Facts you should know about Facebook and Instagram

Surely like many users in the world, you are a faithful follower of the social networks Facebook and Instagram. But how well do you know them? Do you know how many people use them? Do you know its creators and founders? This type of data is key to knowing why these platforms were developed and what they are looking for.

The following post is a compilation of a study conducted on these famous social networks and how they have influenced our lives. From the way we communicate, we learn the most up-to-date information, changes when selling or buying a product. Even the way we perceive the other is based on the number of comments and likes. It is a true revolution that was born from the hand of computer geniuses and social innovation. These platforms are a window for anyone who before could not say "hello" now to tell their life through comments, images, videos.

What should we know about social networks?

All social networks were created under three premises that gradually became fragmented and led to more specific ones. But it all started from a trilogy that the creators saw important. It's about communication, sharing, and connection.

This study was conducted by The Social Media Family, a marketing data consultancy that focused on Spain. In this country, Facebook has 24 million created users and growth is rapid. Instagram has 15 million profiles, but it is slowing down. In the case of Twitter, it stagnated with almost 5 million users.

The conclusions of this study in Spain showed that Facebook, as in the rest of the world, is the most used, visited, followed, and populated social platform. The following posts are WhatsApp, YouTube, and Instagram. Twitter is in a completely stagnant fifth position.

Facebook was the first social network to become popular to such an extent that its first place remains firm. It is the most complete, social, perfect for business and interaction. Its popularity is due to the ease of use, it is cross-platform and generates a very high social feeling. The rest of the social networks are punctual and specific and do not generate much interaction.

Facebook vs Instagram A battle of sisters!

Facebook was created in February 2004 at the University of Cambridge Massachusetts in the United States. From the hand of Mark Zuckerberg who at just 20 years old developed a social platform that would change the world.

In the case of Instagram, which was born in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. Both young people decided to further innovate the world of social networks and created a platform that could share moments instantly. With just two years in the market, Facebook decides to buy Instagram for a billion dollars.

Currently, both are fused and powerfully interact with each other. Whoever dominates both platforms can have a good number of followers at his mercy. Selling or promoting a product, interacting with the public, and influencing the masses, are some of the advantages of mastering both profiles.
