Blog: Social Networking Sites

There are many different social media platforms for web users can share their content.  Some of the main  ones are Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Although these mediums are all meant for human interactions, each of these pages are different and offer a distinctive  impression that makes them unique from other social media pages. Facebook, being the dominating social media platform, offer many different content for  their users to see such as pictures, videos, memes, news or business pages. Because of the vast amount of content and information that Facebook offers, I can find myself spending a lot of my time on Facebook as the newsfeed tends to be endless. While Twitter have the same posting functions, it is meant for users to make brief and concise post as they capped the maximum amount of words per posting. It is a great platform. to share a random thought or simply to give a quick update to your followers. Instagram is a widely used app for users to share their pictures to the public or between friends. It’s different from most of the other media because it is used solely to share pictures and video content. Lastly, LinkedIn is used mainly for professional purposes as opposed to most social media pages where our postings are arbitrary and liberating, LinkedIn is more conservative and mundane. Linked is a great platform for users to showcase their resume and professional skill on their profile for recruiting or networking purposes.

  1. I think that these 4 social media platforms are very important and you gave a good summary of all the functions that each social media platform offers. I think Facebook is a good merge of all 3 of the other platforms.
