Vine
This is like the Sriracha of the social media world – it’s spicy, has a variety of uses, and doesn’t take a lot to make an impact. Vine manages to pack a lot of punch into a 6 second video clip. Yes, I know. “How can 6-seconds of video possible tell my story?” With a little creativity, of course. In fact, some major brands like Virgin Mobile, Oreo, Urban Outfitters, Lowe’s, and General Electric have embraced Vine. While we’re not Vine masters yet, we’re having fun creating new, original, and fairly ridiculous content.

Tumblr
This is Wisconsin. Cheese sauce is totally a condiment. And Tumblr is the creamy, gooey goodness that covers your social sandwich like a cheese hug. And, if you’re looking to engage with the under 25 crowd, it’s where you need to be. This platform is more than just a place to post a white paper. It captures what’s great about blogging and adds an element of interactivity. Followers can like, comment on, and share your posts. They can also send fan mail or ask questions that you can then answer. The only danger is being sucked into the endless vortex of Tumblr ridiculousness (see Literally Unbelievable and T-Rex Trying)
So branch out from the safety of a meat-n-cheese social media experience and kick things up a notch with these experience-enhancing social apps.
