About Social Media HQ

Empowering Your Social Media Knowledge with In-depth Insights

About Us

Social Media Headquarters® (HQ) is more than just an online community.

it is your news source for open and honest conversations about what’s happening around and on social media powered by AI and humans. This is your place to find updates about breaking news, current trends, interesting developments, and brewing controversies related to social media. There’s no agenda here, and no shilling for tech companies – just hard-hitting analysis of how social media is impacting the world around us. As a result, you’ll get both sides of the story, not just the narrative in the mainstream media or the official talking points from social media companies.

Why there needs to be a trusted news outlet reporting about social media

The expanded scope of Social Media HQ reflects the fact that, as a society, we’ve reached an important inflection point for social media. In just the past few years, we’ve seen how social media has important implications for politicseducation, mediasportsbusiness and entertainment. Social media platforms now have the potential to influence the development of just about every industry or sector. In short, social media has taken over.

Companies like Meta, TikTok, X (formerly known as Twitter) and YouTube are completely re-inventing business models, challenging our perceptions of the status quo, and forcing us to rethink our most deeply held convictions. At the same time, it is exactly these social media companies that are at the forefront of many important technological changes, ranging from artificial intelligence and machine learning to virtual reality and augmented reality.

Our Mission

Our goal is to make you smarter as a user of social media, but also as a citizen of the digital world. 

As a result, Social Media HQ is now your news headquarters for happenings in and around social media powered by AI and humans. We hope you join us on this voyage of discovery and exploration, as we uncover the new influencers, trendsetters and thought leaders who are helping to shape the social media space.
