If you ask me, there was only one good thing to come out of social media in 2017 and it came with three weeks to spare.*
It wasn't the tide pod (http://mashable.com/2017/12/28/tide-pod-twitter-explained/) craze, it wasn't Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's strange flight (http://mashable.com/2017/12/27/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-flight-conspiracy-theory/), and it wasn't the drama involving the royal wedding's guest list (http://mashable.com/2017/12/27/prince-harry-wedding-invite-obama-meghan-markle/) either — it was Willard Carroll "Will" Smith Jr. and his brand new, fresh out the box Instagram account. It's perfect in every way, and if 2018 keeps going the way it is (http://mashable.com/2018/01/04/2018-recap/), it might just be the best thing about this year too.*

There was actually the ability to create mystery," he told The Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/will-smith-social-media-movie-stars-podcast-843931) in 2015.* Read more...
