A study published in PLOS One highlights the importance of the difference between social media platforms in relation to the psychological impact of social media. The findings revealed that active use of Facebook during the pandemic was tied to greater negative affect, while active uses of Twitter and Instagram were tied to greater life satisfaction through increased social support

Respondents completed a series of questions to gather further understanding of their behaviour on the various social media platforms.

A perfect gift for Idea Spies- positive people with positive ideas

I saw this book in the Laugh and Learn toy shop in Randwick Sydney last week and love it. The book perfectly describes my feelings in developing IdeaSpies. "What do you do with an idea? Especially when it’s different or daring or just a little wild. This is a story for anyone, at any age, who’s ever had an idea that seemed a little too big, too odd, too difficult”. The message is clear-welcome and nurture ideas with patience and persistence, no matter how big or small, no matter how unique or popular, and they may grow to change the world.
