The following resources will be largely utilized in the paper since they cover all the social media sites that I have chosen.

Foreman, C. (2017). 10 Types of Social Media and How Each Can Benefit Your Business. HootSuite .

Kennedy, G. (2016). Social Media: Master Social Media Marketing - Facebook, Twitter, Youtube & Instagram. CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2016.

These sources were reached after a careful consideration as to whether they merit or not. The first methodology used to choose these cites is currency in terms of time. The resources should be acceptable not only by me but also by other readers who are going to read them. Otherwise the resources can be dismissed by some people, especially those who will negatively criticize them. They should be up to date because technology is moving so fast. The social media sites chosen are undergoing very fast changes and thus, the sites should be able to support the information. In addition, these sources present information that is reliable since they exactly handle what we experience from day to day. They have also been referenced so many times by different people an indication that they are viable and reliable resources. The sources are also very carefully written after a considerable systematic research, looking intently at the sites one after the other.

The authors have gone through each one of them, and presenting information that can be verified. It was both a hard and easy work to locate the sources. In fact, there were several other sources that I had to compare and contrast before i finally settle at these sources. I had to make a careful selection based on the content, the currency and all the other important factors that can be considered. Altogether, the main aim of comparing and contrasting the different resources was to ensure that I do not choose sources that have information that cannot be verified and information that is not up to date. Any matter to do with technology need to be very current because the rate at which technology is changing is very fast. Thus, selecting resources that are current and up to date was very hard.
