This portal was launched in 2007 and is used to set up microblogs. Users can post in categories: text, photo, video file, gif, link, etc. Tumblr allows you to find people with similar interests or discover unpopular topics. In addition, the portal is used to exchange opinions. In the last two years, the service has lost its popularity.
This service allows you to share visual materials. And its premise is to create a space that functions like an interactive corkboard. Pinterest allows users to save content they like for inspiration or motivation. All items (both your own and those you have collected) can be liked, commented on and also grouped into their own boards.
Lesser known social media – Flickr
Flickr was created to collect and share photos. It is a place that photographers often choose to showcase their images to create a portfolio of sorts. Each image can be tagged, as well as geolocated, which allows you to place shots on a special map. The portal also offers the possibility to participate in thematic discussion groups.
