I think that the 15/10 Foundation is a shining example of the best that social media has to offer. It started with the We Rate Dogs X account and transformed into an incredible nonprofit charity to help shelter dogs get medical care. #INFO246w72726

I believe that Instagram is the best social media platform:
Visual content is processed faster,
Engagement and connectivity are high,
Direct messaging is included,
Stays up to date with trends,
and has great analytical tools for organizations!

In my opinion, the best Social Media has to offer is functioning as a tool for democracy, as evidenced by all the social movements that have happened on/offline.

One of the best examples of social media is YouTube. Channels like Crash Course and Khan Academy have made free, high-quality education available to millions of people. Many social media channels teach new skills and make education more accessible. #INFO246w72726

IG is the best of social media because it evolves alongside trends. It features versatile storytelling formats, user-friendly editing, and built-in data analytics, helping creators share and connect with their online communities.

Is there a feature you use the most on IG? 📲🤳👩‍💻

The best social media is pure, effortless joy. Apodaca's viral video of him skateboarding to work while sipping cranberry juice to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams" spread positive vibes, brought millions together, and put a classic back on the charts. #INFO246w72726 #BestOfTikTok youtu.be/Y3ywicffOj4?...

Legacy apps are a corporate swamp of rage-bait, bad privacy/ads, unhinged mis/disinformation & forced feeds. The best of social tech is a curated garden: user choice, stackable moderation, & real opportunity to bloom. Grow better on Bluesky 🍃🌸💙

The best of social media is YouTube because it has become the ubiquitous site for video. There are plenty of sites for microblogging, networking, etc. but few for video. YouTube's 20+ year library and less addictive design make it more desirable for me over vertical sites like TikTok.

In 2014 the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge took over the world. People challenged each other to dump a bucket of ice or water over their head; it was simple, effective, and not only raised awareness of the ALS Association, but also $115 million in 8 weeks and funded research breakthroughs #INFO246w72726

Playing for Change project is one of the best moments in social media. Their global “Stand By Me” collaboration on YouTube stitched musicians from around the world into one song quickly going viral. It’s creative, human, and connecting people across borders.

Instagram is one of the best of social media because can be used to:
- share content (through photos & videos)
- connect with others
- have content be discovered
- directly connect to audiences with Stories & Reels
- collaborate with creators, market resources, tools, & communities #INFO246w72726

Instagram allows users to connect with one another by liking, commenting on, and sharing content. Because of these built-in features, people can discover new content and create communities around common interests, making it one of the best social media platforms. #bestofsocialmedia #INFO246w72726

#INFO246w72726 I see you had a unique approach- specifically drawing on the charitable, viral, and entertaining #icebucketchallenge- I had wondered with the prompt if Professor J meant specific platforms or strategies. Either way, it blazed a trail for the best of social media! 🧊👍

Outside gaming, few realize how toxic Twitch's platform is. From cultivating creator burnout, blatant misogyny, monetizing loneliness, and an isolation echo chamber- platforms like Bluesky offer something better. We don't need platforms built on rage algorithms. 🧵👇 #INFO246w72726 #BlueskyCommunity

This is a real blast from the past! I’m actually very happy to know that the challenge did end up helping with funding research efforts. A wonderful example of how social media can be used for good! #INFO246w72726

Hello Jessi,
That is a great outcome from an initial fun account on X. It sounds like the app was able to help get the traction, interest, and support from users to be able to fund this nonprofit charity for dogs. Thank you for sharing this positive outcome of using social media! #INFO246w72726
