Social Network Sites

           With the rise of social media, the gates have been breached. Anyone with a computer or smartphone and “followers” or “friends” on a social network can easily spread his ideas both good and bad, worthwhile and vapid to an audience of thousands. Moreover, there are plenty if social media and networking sites and apps that can get your idea even in the moon as my grandfather is saying. First one is the Facebook, Twitterm, Instagram, Linkedin and many more. Furthermore, Facebook is used by almost every age, including my parents. It's helping them and the millions around the world connect with relatives and friends that they have not connected and heard from in a long time. For many different circumstances such as being in another state, or country, or they have just lost the connection. Facebook is a platform where people share almost  everything about their daily lives. It’s someone's album or the journal for everyone to see. 


        Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. 4 different social networking sites each with there own unique flavor, objective, and execution. Despite this, each networking site offers a shared goal to the experience of its users – Interact with others sharing information in different forms such as images, videos, news articles, job postings, polls, status updates, tweets and re-tweets. Twitter, seemed like the best social networking site for up-to-date information and news. It comes at you “live” with other users tweeting information as it happens. Facebook is a little more playful, interactive and entertaining. Status updates, helps you keep tab on the whats-what of your social circles. Entertainment is plastered throughout your newsfeed, coming across all types of web stories that are trending and popular between your friends and family. Instagram is a picture sharing social network. What an interesting way to execute the idea of a social network. A picture does speak a thousand words truly holds firm when using Instagram. Information, interests, locations, the infamous foodie pictures all help expand users knowledge of events, places, and artistic creations. LinkedIn, the most business savvy of them all. Professionals come here from all over, creating a job network full of opportunities and information. Very useful, especially for the up and coming entry-level, ex-collegiate individual. Each network has its own way to do the same thing – share ideas with those who we know and get to know. Social Networking at its best.



      However, Social networking has become a modern day news, entertainment, and peer-interacting platform in society. The Millennial generation primarily, is one of the highest percentage of social media users all over the world. Social network content such as facebook, twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn etc. all allow for sharing of information, pictures, videos, job listings, and more. There are a great amount of benefits in using social networks because it allows people from all over to the world to stay connected with family, friends, and co-workers for professional or intimate purposes.
