I have looked into four social networking sites: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram. My impression for each site differs;
Twitter: Fast-paced simplified way of communicating. There is no time for lengthy rants or long essays. It is mostly about expressing your main idea and making a statement. Things can get viral real quick and the option to re-tweet allows for bigger audiences to see your posts. It is a lot more public than Facebook.
Facebook: Has more options for privacy settings to control who can view your posts. Allows people to be able to fully express themselves (from the long posts I see as statuses). A lot more pictures are shared on Facebook than on Twitter. The comment sections are a lot lengthier and longer in a discussion style compared to Twitter. Facebook also allows for a more personalized profile.
Tumblr: Great for sharing and finding memes and cute comments. Also great for expressing yourself and being able to comment on posts in a discussion style. Has a collection of pictures and graphics ready to be shared.
Instagram: Emphasis on photos and videos. The options to filter the photos are addicting and make really nice pictures. Makes good use of the quote "a picture is worth a thousand words," allows for a more creative way to update others about what you're up to or where you've been.
Hi Victoria, while there are the regular social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, I actually forgot that Tumblr was a great social networking site as well. From my knowledge, I think it is just like a blog, allowing for daily posts of pictures or funny memes. It is a great way to share and receive information.
