Blog: Social networking sites

Today almost everyone has an account with some of the most popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. I personally use all four and so do many of my friends. They all are a way of connecting with people, but still used very differently and have different purposes. While using these four social media platforms I have realized that they have some interesting differences. Like Facebook i think is mainly used for people to make posts about almost anything and share their personal thoughts or stories through long posts. It is a way of keeping in touch with family and friends from all over the world and share your stuff with them. Twitter is a little different because it's for people to share quick thoughts or simple and short sentences. It can also be used to spread news about something. Twitter is where people post something quick and fast that they just want to share with friends and it can be for fun or serious issues. Instagram is something that is used to share mostly pictures with friends and family. The main purpose and reason it is different from Facebook is because it is where people posts pictures and they share special moments they were able to capture in a camera with friends and family. Here you can also edit your pictures and filter them unlike Facebook. Snapchat is sort of like Instagram, but it's more like a live platform for people to share their moments. People can send pictures and videos which they can limit the time they can be viewed until they disappear from the persons phone. Not only that, but you can share your moments right away with friends and family rather than waiting and posting later like you would do on Instagram. So these are the main differences according to me about these four social media sites. They all have one purpose which is to connect people yet in very different and unique ways.
