Social Networking Sites

Today I will be talking about 4 different social networking sites. They are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin.

Facebook is a social media site used to make contact between family and friends a lot easier. You can post updates/pictures on your wall as well as your friend's wall. You are able to control what exactly you allow others to see. Everything you decide to share comes up on your friends timeline making it simple to stay connected and share news. You are able to comment/like/react to posts that you see on your wall. You can also like pages like Buzzfeed, CNN, and celebrities to see videos/posts that may interest you.

Twitter limits your post to 140 characters unlike Facebook. Tweets are usually short and about day to day occurrences. People may follow their friends/family as well as celebrities to see what is going on in their lives. Tweets may be organized with the use of hashtags to easily find tweets with similar topics. People are able to re-tweet your post and comment under post too. You can also send direct messages similar to Facebook.

Instagram is a photo sharing site.You can upload pictures and apply filters to your liking. You can also add captions to your photos. Your followers are able to like and comment on these pictures. You can also set your page to private to insure that only people you approve to follow you are seeing your photos. Every Instagram user will be able to see your profile picture, biography, number of people you are following/followers and number of photos. The people you have following you the better your page is considered.

Linkedin is business connection site. It is used to make contacts with people you may work with or with similar career interests. It is also a good way to stay in touch with classmates and colleagues. You can discover new business opportunities and find new ventures,  You can also learn about things that you need to move forward with your career.
