Social networking sites

Looking through Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, all four sites have many similarities but at the same time are so different. For example, on all sites they have this thing called adding to your story or timeline, where you’re able to upload things like questions, what you’re doing at the moment, boomerangs, and polls. Another similarity would be that you’re able to start something called a live video. Which is basically where your followers are able to see your live stream of any activities that you’re doing. Also on all platforms, companies are able to take advantages of the marketing and advertisements that can be done. Many companies have job posting on their site to show up depending on your searches and profile matchings.

When it comes to the differences, all of these platforms are very unique in their own ways. Twitter over the years has become more popular for political updates, but also for funny jokes and updates from you followers that you have. There are so many different uses for twitter that are more enhanced than other platforms. Instagram and snapchat are very similar because Instagram almost has a version of snapchat installed where you can post on your story for 24 hours along with the chat feature and ability to comment on stories. The difference is that Instagram also has the feature where you can post pictures of your art, sports, or even yourself which stays until you delete or archive to be posted later again. Facebook allows you to post written post along with picture post. Facebook also allows you to share videos that post on your page and stay there until you delete them. Facebook also gives a community feeling being that you’re able to share these videos and comment on them. It’s also a good platform for businesses because they’re able to post advertisements under their business page. This allows for their friends to like the advertisement and if they have mutual friends they’re also able to see it which eventually just travel’s around all of Facebook and allows for more and more people to view it.
