Social Networking Sites

There are four SNS that i visit very frequently. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and Instagram. Now Facebook is by far the most frequented site of the four i list. Facebook has changed its interface throughout the years and i know we all dreaded the multiple changes and tried to delay the update for as long as possible. However i have grown to appreciate Facebook's layout and interface. Since i visit it daily i am very comfortable with all functionalities. Not only that but most people i know use Facebook the most, so i get most of the updates and post from there. Not only that but there are a lot of video clips including news, vines, music and many other genres.Most of the posts i see on Facebook are related to personal lives, its almost like a tweet of a blog. Short concise message about a persons happenings.

Twitter on the other hand has a more simple layout and not as densely populated as a Facebook feed. Twitter also has a much different style when it comes to posting or tweeting. Most of the information you get in a tweet is informative. Usually about an event that occurred, news, anything that captivates attention. Its like an SNS to get your daily news from and updates on that event.

Myspace on the other hand is very easily customized to your preferred taste. You change your background photo, set music to play in the background, and change the fonts and colors. You can customize just about anything which is a cool aspect to Myspace. Also there isnt a news feed like Facebook and Twitter. Instead people solely post on each others pages.

Lastly is Instagram. Instagram is a SNS where you post a photo or video about pretty much anything. Its like a mix of Twitter and Facebook. You take the posts you would see on Facebook and then format it into a Twitter style format. Its a very simple layout, you scroll down through a bunch of photos that have hashtags describing the picture. You can also comment on these pictures and like them. Instagram is solely photos and videos, nothing else. You cannot just post a comment, you need to have a photo accompanying it.
