Social Media Engagement

Social Media Engagement 

Here at Search Control, we love everything that pertains to social media and the opportunities it provides people to connect with one another and connect to certain topics and events. Social media has sky rocketed in the past several years and we think it’s important to embrace what it has to offer.

With the variety of social networks to be on there are several reasons to have a profile on each network. You want to be on LinkedIn for professional purposes, Twitter to stay connected with current events and trends, Facebook to keep in contact with old friends, Instagram to let the world know what you had for dinner and how awesome your weekend was, Google + to stay connected with people, the list goes on and on. These social platforms were created differently to provide you the opportunity to stay engaged with a certain element whether it’s people, places, or events the purpose is for engagement.


This is an important aspect to understand because as humans we have an inherited need to belong and feel connected to our society. The feeling of belonging has changed over time along with technology which is why our source of connection is now through the internet and social media sites, rather than previous forms of connection. While people have their bad connotations for the purposes of social media and technology there is a lot of good in what it has to offer us and the impact it has on our society.
