Social Networking Sites

The four social networking sites that visited were Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.  My favorite one of the four is Facebook, since I feel its a happy middle between nonsense and actual informative information.  Facebook can be a place where you can learn information about a certain topic and spread ideas quickly.  It also enables people to start a conversation in the comments section of whatever is being discussed and there is not limit to how much you write like in Twitter.  I found that even though their are "Trolls" on Facebook like in any other social media site it is easier for you to find information and keep in touch with people that you would like to communicate with.  With Twitter it feels like it is just an ongoing drama factory that is either weak minded arguments that are being riddled all over the place or is just a place for people to say what they are doing every minute of the day.  It feels as if it is like people are just trying to rub whatever it is they are doing into everyone else on Twitter.  Its like we are back in elementary school and kids are teasing each other about what lunch they brought in today.  LinkedIn is unlike every other social media site where it is seen to be strictly a place for career development and networking.  Businesses can use this site to recruit potential applicants and people can use it to advertise themselves to potential jobs.  I found this site to extremely useful when used correctly by people who want to further their careers.  Instagram is a site that is used exclusively to post pictures.  Whether it be selfies, pictures of food, landscapes, or memes, Instagram is a place where photography can be expressed.  This site can also be used to show videos and is also enabled with a comment section that can be used by viewers to start a conversation on the picture being displayed.  Out of all these sites, as I said before, I feel that Facebook is the best since it has the ability of Twitter and Instagram to post pictures, and rant about nonsense, but can be used in beneficial ways.
