Social Media
Social media refers to online platforms and applications that enable users to create, share, and interact with content and communities. It facilitates communication, networking, and information dissemination through features like posts, messaging, and multimedia sharing. For developers, it involves building, integrating, or maintaining these platforms and their underlying technologies.
Developers should learn social media technologies to build user engagement features, integrate APIs for authentication or content sharing, and create scalable systems for real-time interactions. Use cases include developing social networking apps, implementing social login (e.g., OAuth with Facebook), and optimizing platforms for high traffic and data privacy, such as in marketing tools or community-driven websites.
