Social networking sites

Social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest are well known. Facebook is the most widely used one, maybe because it is the oldest of the four that I mentioned or I can say it is me user friendly compare with twitter and Instagram and Pinterest. It is user friendly in the sense that it is more straight forward for sharing ideas as well as videos and the likes all in one shot. Unlike twitter where you have to squeeze your idea into 140 characters (that takes special skills), as well as Instagram and Pinterest which is mainly for sharing pictures. Even though these social network sites all serve the same purpose of sharing ideas and news, they all deliver differently, it just depend on individual need and preference. For example, if I want to socialize with family and close friends, Facebook does a great job with that. When it comes to news and gossips and updates, twitter is the site to visit because you can get real time updates from twitter. For example, I check mta tweet updates about trains whether there are delays or not on twitter, they always keep me up to date on twitter. When I need ideas about lifestyle and fashion and what's trending, I choose Instagram and Pinterest for that because that have great visuals in terms of photograph and also ideas.

All these social networks are up to all the tasks that I have mentioned, but because of their little differences, they are better at doing certain things than the others. The bottom line is, we should be on all of them in other to be well rounded.
