Q. Have you ever experienced difficulty communicating with a business? Would social media have made it easier to get noticed or get your problem solved? If not, have you ever had a positive experience communicating with a business through social media? 

A. Communicating with a business can be hard. First of all, there are many other people trying to contact the company at the same time. Personally, I have never tried to contact any company in particular. In my opinion, it would be difficult to communicate with businesses because of the amount of request. But nonetheless, it is possible with patience and persistence. 
Using social media in a business would help the company gain instant feedback through their posts (i.e Facebook). Through posts, the company can ask their friends/fans/followers of their opinions which can improve the business.

Social Medias

Which social media platforms seem geared towards personal use and which ones seem to work better for business.
Social media platforms that are geared toward personal use are facebook, tumblr, twitter, pintrest and many more. These social media types helps a person express their feelings and mood which reflects them. Others like pintrest and instagram are some that reflects people's interest and tell a story of their life.

For businesses, linkedin are, in my opinion, are the best to communicate with others within the business. This is because users can create virtual meetings which would be more convenient than traveling or in the situation where users are from different side of the world. Skype is also an equivalent. Facebook, can be a social media only depending on what the profile posts, like advertisement or to inform their followers of their product.
