The four sites i chose to visit were the only four i have which include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. They have many similarities but a few differences which make them each unique and that is why majority of society has them today! We use all of these social networking sites to keep up with the world and what going on because its most convenient and right at hand, just one or two clicks away.
Facebook is mostly used to connect and keep in touch with family and friends that are across the country or in a different state. Us users can post comments, post photos, share photos or links to news or motivating content that interests us on our own page. You can "like or follow" the data you are interested in. I mostly use Facebook for my job. We have a secret group where only my coworkers are members. We go on there to post shifts that we don't want or to swap shifts or even cover for someone who can't make it in that day. It quick and more convenient than email.
Twitter is a little different than Facebook in the sense that you are limited to 160 characters. Basically, get your point across. I feel that most people use Twitter to voice their opinion. I barely use twitter but when i do, i use it to keep updated on sports games if I'm not home. Twitter is like the go to, to find out whats happening now with politics, sports or celebrities.
Snapchat is a mobile app where you can post videos and pictures from 1 to 10 seconds. Whatever you post goes away after a day. Its easy which is what people want. Within seconds you can send a picture and receive one back from your friend. There are also many different filters you can apply to yourself or whatever you post.
Instagram is the most popular social networking site in my opinion. You can post pictures or videos. The newest addition to this site is that you can post multiple pictures in one post. You have a newsfeed with all of the people you follow to keep updated on their activity. There is now Instagram and Facebook live where anyone can watch and tune in to what you're doing at that exact moment.
Nice detailed comparisons and differences among the four social networking sites Kristen! They all have unique similarities and differences but I think you pointed out a key difference in Instagram and Facebook Live. An individual is able to broadcast themselves live on these sites. Twitter and Snapchat don't have these features but who knows, they will come some day!
