Social Networking Sites

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat are all social networking sights that are all very different.  I have used Facebook the longest out of all of these social networking sites, and recently I feel its popularity has declined. It is an easy way to stay connected but a lot of my feed is taken up by videos and advertisements, and less by friends thoughts. Twitter, which I have just created is a very interesting way to stay updated. I find the constant posts from people to be very interesting and thought provoking. You have a lot of control over who you want to see and what you want to be on your feed making it a lot more interesting. Compared to Facebook twitter is a lot more condensed. Snapchat is completely different from Facebook and twitter being that it is all videos and snapshots of your friends or celebrities you choose to follow. They have very minimal advertisements unless you click on some of the news links that give you snaps of the news which I like very much to get a quick update on what may be trending in the news on a particular day. Lastly, there is Instagram which is also like snapchat in the sense where you choose your following and are able to view pictures and now videos in which is posted. Instagram has started to do the same thing in including advertisements  but for the most part is minimal on your feed. Instagram is like twitter and snap where you are in more control of who you follow and what you view. All of these sights help people to come together and bring awareness to a lot of issues or events around the world, making our world seem to be becoming closer and closer together through social networking.
