Social Networking Sites

As we all know, different social networking sites have different uses, but all are used to keep us all connected with one another.

Facebook is more for daily use. It keeps us well connected with our own social circles and gives us updates on our specific interests. Facebook can be invasive at times where they have the most problems with privacy and the like. Some people also criticize their own Facebook friends for sharing, at times, useless aspects of their lives. However, Facebook is a great way to stay connected with these annoying friends and gives us a way to updated on aspects with just a click of a button.

Twitter has been the subject of many "controversial tweets". The important aspect of Twitter is that you can be a part of the current conversation of the modern world. This is something you can do on Facebook, but due to the fact that you're only allowed 140 characters per post on Twitter, it really is a conversation more than a presentation of information.

Snapchat is great and is my personal favorite of social networking sites. You send pictures and short videos to people which disappear after a set time and is never found again. You basically use pictures and videos to communicate with people. There's also an option to upload a post onto your "story", which lasts for 24 hours before deleting itself. If you do want to save a post, there is a save option, which then saves the post into your "moments" folder on the app. You can choose which friends to view their story and you don't have to worry about privacy issues as the pictures and videos delete after viewing.

Instagram is a great way to share your life through pictures and videos, similar to Snapchat. The one difference I would definitely say is that Snapchat is more casual whereas people put in a whole lot more effort into their Instagram posts. Instagram gives you a chance to show off about your life and make it as beautiful and interesting as possible. This is because Instagram posts don't get deleted and stay with you. The aim is to get as much likes and followers as possible.
