I am going to base my social media page around 'travel'. My issue is going to be that I need a social media site that will act like a 'cyber journal' that will allow me to stay connected to my friends and family whilst I am travelling around South America. I also want them to visually see my movements on a map and share photo's, posts, and comments so they can enjoy the amazing journey with me !
1.TWITTER
It was easy to sign up and work out the general as it was pretty straightforward. After creating an account I looked at the features and related them back to my reasons behind creating a social media page. It had features such as upload photo's, comment on others, make tweets, tag, and connect with Facebook to access friends and family easier. All of this was relevant to what I was trying to do but it didn't have a interactive map that I could use to track my travels. I wanted people to understand where in the world I was but Twitter didn't have this feature.
2. PANAROMIA
Is a social media page created to upload photos onto a interactive map that you can comment on, tag, like, etc. This was on the right track for what I wanted. However, I found it quiet difficult to use. I wanted to track my journey so my friends and family could see the distance visually and not just add photo's to a standard map. Overall a good social media page for sharing photos for travel purposes but it lacked the interaction I wanted with friends and family.
