Social Networking Sites

There are many different kinds of social networking sites. Four popular social networking sites used today is Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Tumblr. Although these sites are very similar, I have different impressions of them. Between the four sites, I feel like Facebook has the highest social interaction with other people. It lets you easily interact with other such as using Facebook message. Facebook lets you post pictures, view your friends posts, "like" pages that interest you, create an event and much more. Facebook includes more features than the other three sites. Myspace, on the other hand, is more towards blogging. Myspace lets you make your own unique profile background, add music, and post. Tumblr is very much similar to Myspace. Tumblr lets you post, and re-post other's post. You are able to follow certain people or just something that interests you. Tumblr is mostly used as a blogging tool and posts only things that pertains or interest you. Twitter and Facebook can both be used for networking with professionals. Twitter, like the others, let's you tweet about topics that interest you but the difference lies within the word limit of each post. In addition, for twitter post, you cannot directly comment under the post but instead re-tweet, hashtag, and/or tag the person you are responding to. If you like to keep up with the latest trends or updates, Twitter would be best. 

All four sites, lets you add friends, post, and allow others to interactively respond to your post to start a conversation. Even though, the sites sound similar, they have their own unique usages. Out of the four social networking sites, I prefer Facebook the most because I feel like it provides more than the other sites.
