After reading and watching the videos about YouTube, I think you can make a strong case that YouTube is a social media platform for some groups of people.

Apply what you know so far to make a case for sites like Flickr, Imagur, and Instagram. Are they social media platforms in their own right or not?

Note: There's no doubt that Pinterest IS a social media platform, so we'll leave that out of this discussion.

Choose one of these platforms (or another image sharing site that you use) and see if you can find examples that either show that it is functioning as a social media site, or make an argument for why it is not.
