How does Plato compare with what the experts today would say makes a good social media website?
On first thought, it would seem that Plato would have nothing to say, since social media as we think of it today, was not around during 3rd and 4th century BC. But, much of what he said is still relevant and related to what many experts would recommend on what makes a good social media website.
The experts we are going to reference in this comparison are from The Slanted Lens and their video on "How to use a Blog to get Sales." http://theslantedlens.com/2014/how-to-use-blog-to-get-sales/
Here are points from from Plato and what the experts at Slanted Lens would say (Plato in bold and italicized):
- A unified theme: Many experts caution small businesses to not mix personal and business posts.
- Inclusion of everyone: Make posts universally sharable. (Instead of posting a picture of a wedding photo shoot of a particular couple that you did, post a video of "7 Ways to Take Wedding Photo's".
- An enticing opportunity for open discussion: Posts should be interactive and "elicit a response from the viewer."
- Easy to understand: Content that converts to sells must be interesting to the audience and to be interesting, it must be intelligible.
