Microblogging is one of the preferred methods of socialising for tweets example X and threads. When it comes to choosing the preferred social media platform it is common that people tend to stay with the one that they are already most familiar with while new users tend to go for the latest platform, but now it’s the battle for the future users . On the other hand, an exmaple of vlog could be Snapchat and TikTok. According to Khoros (2024) the most dominant age group for TikTok and Snapchat are young adults between the ages of 18 to 24, which is 37% percent of the users on the platform. Snapchat first gained popularity in the 2015-2016. For example I myself used to enjoy the idea of posting temporary posts and sharing the present moment but as time passed, Snapchat always added new features to the point I myself and potentially others might have felt the same way that the platform had lost its values due to having too many features such as ads, discovery modes. Meanwhile TikTok became popular in North America approximately 5 years ago. Both platforms have similar features with the main difference being that snapchat contents are temporary while TikTok contents are permanent.
If you had to start over and choose a platform right now, which platform would you choose knowing that there’s two options available between TikTok and Snapchat?

While TikTok and Snapchat battling for the short videos based platform. X and Threads are battling for the texting based platform. X focuses on evolving the platform making you pay for all interactions. In 2013 X team tweeted that they launched a trial that all new users in New Zealand and Philippines had to pay $ 1 after signup to use the platform. That is why more people should switch to threads and support threads further grow by providing feedback and support to the platform as X is no longer in anyone’s interest but the company itself which is not a true representation of the definition of social media. Sign up for Threads today https://www.threads.net/?hl=en to experience the newly trending social media platform.
When it comes to choosing a social media platform we always like to compare the statistics. Based on a statistical report from Khoros (2024) TikTok is currently superior to Snapchat. TikTok has over 1.200 billion monthly active users compared to Snapchat ‘s 750 million active users. Another benefit of TikTok is that you can use it on a desktop compared to snapchat which is best for app application only. Here’s the link to Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/foryou?lang=en where you can have an overview of TikTok with the option to sign up. For employees and digital marketers, TikTok is also a great way for promotion by representing the company showing behind the scenes of some works or tutorials which a lot of viewers would be looking forward to for better understanding of the company. Bonus you can get paid on TikTok as well for being a creator. Those income from TikTok could be sent to the donation portal of the company. Based on these factuality, the new platforms seem to be going in the best direction compared to the oldest platforms.There’s a video by Jade Beason (2023) on YouTube demonstrating how to use threads and its benefits at Complete guide to Threads if you want to further learn more about Threads and TikTok tips video for learning about features on TikTok.
