MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr.(1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social activist who played a key role in the American civil right movement.

AN INTERNET PHENOMENON

Today a lot of people spend their free time on Internet, especially on social networking. In my country the most popular social networkings are, Instagram,Twitter,and Whatsapp. The social where I spend more time is Instagram, it was born in October,2010 and the founders are Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, it is an online photo and video sharing social networking service. It allows users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters and share them to their followers. A feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic.                                                             On April 9,2012 Mark Zuckerberg announced the acquisition of Instagram by Facebook, for about US $ 1 billion.  Instagram became very popular, in 2012 it reached 25 million of users. A lot of teenagers use this social networking and they invite a lot of friends to use Instagram. In this social networking when you published a photo you can add hashtag (#) to make them easily searchable. A lot of teenagers make the competition to see who has the more like and more followers. Recently came out a new way to publish photos called "Instagram stories" when you can publish photos and the people can see tour photos or videos only for 24 hours and you can see who see your photos. Also a lot of VIP people use this social networking to make participant their fans of their life.
