3 Places I visit for Video and Image Media

1. Instagram

Instagram has been called, "Facebook for people who can't read." It is a social media site where you can post short videos or pictures for people you know or don't know and follow others that might have the same interests by looking up hashtags others post when posting their video or picture. There is also an option to filter the pictures to bring out the colors or put a unique view on the media. Check out Instagram at https://instagram.com/.




2. YouTube

I love YouTube for the pure fact that I can find ANYTHING on this site. From DIY projects to one of my favorite short cartoons named Llamas with Hats to my professors videos of how to navigate the internet. You can also create a profile and follow your favorite posters, which will notify you when that user has posted a new video. Or you can post videos yourself of pretty much anything you want, as long as you follow the rules. These videos are accessible to the general public unless you want to keep your profile private which is always an option as well. If you're looking for a good laugh, look up Jenna Marbles or Lil Bub at https://www.youtube.com/.



3. Flickr

I must admit, I'm fairly new to the Flickr scene. I feel like this site is an upgraded more organized version of Instagram. It has similar features like photo sharing with other photographers but it also has categories with a "photo of the day" and pictures that had been posted that day from thousands of people in the same area of the world. It also has other galleries such as 20 under 20. This specific gallery shows photos that have been posted by 20 of the youngest most inspirational photographers on Flicker.This site will definitely suck you in if you have the time to look through it. Create an account to follow photographers you love. To check out Flickr, go to https://www.flickr.com/
