 <\/p>\n

The year 2016 is over, so now is a good time to look back and see what changes took place during the last year.<\/p>\n

We live glued to our social networks and HOW we like them!\u00a0 But during the past year they have evolved and adapted themselves to new times and the demands of their users.<\/p>\n

What Changes Took Place? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the networks that evolved the most during 2016 has been Instagram.\u00a0 <\/strong>In May, we were surprised with their new icon design which had a cleaner font and a simpler white interface.\u00a0\u00a0 But its biggest bet has been Instagram Stories<\/strong>.\u00a0 Last July, Instagram launched a section inside its app where people can upload photos and videos that are only available for 24 hours, in the purest of Snapchat style.<\/p>\n

\"Instagram\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bloggers, brands, and users of the app did not hesitate to join this trend.\u00a0 It has been so successful that Instagram also bet on live videos<\/strong>, which can connect with your followers through Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n

2016 \u2013 The Year of Live Streaming<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And it is not only Instagram, but all the social networks have joined in the live streaming of videos.\u00a0 Twitter, after buying Periscope, let\u2019s its users stream high-quality content live, using Periscope Producer.<\/p>\n

Another social network which gave us a lot to talk about in 2016 is Facebook, with its incorporation of Facebook Live<\/strong>, which let\u2019s videos be transmitted live.\u00a0\u00a0 What is the positive side of this innovation?\u00a0 When a user streams live, Facebook sends a notice to all your followers, so that in the end you manage to reach a large number of users and this generates greater engagement.<\/p>\n

Through these live videos, surveys have also developed using Facebook Live Pools.\u00a0 You haven\u2019t heard of these?\u00a0 You have probably seen a survey in real time where you expressed your reaction through Facebook emojis.\u00a0\u00a0 These are all thanks to Facebook Live!<\/p>\n

And what about you?\u00a0 What do you think was the best innovation from the social networks in 2016?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
