NOTE FROM COMMUNITY MANAGER


As the new year quickly approaches, we’re taking some time to look back at all the major news updates, platform releases and social media developments made over the past year. Although the world has yet to return to a “normal” pace of life, the digital world has been working in hyperdrive.

Since 2020 and throughout 2021 we’ve seen a massive uptake and transformation in social media usage as our entire economy has shifted its focus online. The global increase in social media usage has forced the major platforms to step up their offerings for both consumers and businesses.

One way we’ve seen social media platforms across the board improve in 2021 has been in the collective focus to expand e-commerce tools and placements as well as developing new systems of revenue for our content creators.

Join us in looking back on 2021. We’ve reviewed the top headlines and news reports from the year and selected 10 stories that we believe were the most impactful and valuable to our readers.

As always, thanks for reading!
