Social Networking Sites

Facebook : Facebook is a social networking website which allows us to connect and share with your family and friends. It allows users to create profiles, upload photos and videos, and send messages. In everyone's profile, there is their personal wall which is filled with posts of text, pictures or content the user is tagged in. After the wall, there is newsfeed which consist of recent post from friends, friends of friends, likes, or advertisement. I feel that using Facebook is an easier way to stay connected with anyone. I feel like its a faster way in sending messages to my friends rather than texting because everyone normally has data or WiFi on their phone.

Twitter : Twitter is a short social networking micro blogging site. Unlike Facebook, Twitter's tweet is limited to 140 characters. On twitter, short conversations can be weaved into a general topic with the use of hashtags (#keyword). Twitter allows for quick follow up on certain people such as celebrities.
I find Twitter is useful in keeping up with popular people, but I'm not about that life.

YouTube: YouTube is a website designed in sharing videos. In these videos, there are many different contents users could upload. Some of these videos can be informative, how to, blogging, viral, and much more.  It is considered a social networking site because after watch a video, users can comment on the video, share and respond to it. I like YouTube because its free and it practically connects you to the entire world. You can find almost anything on YouTube.

Reddit : Reddit is a social network site where people would post information similar to a blog on a certain topic. A user would upload a post about anything and various other users would gather around and begin uploading similar content which would turn into a thread. Users would comment about the post and would allow downvotes and upvotes. I feel like reddit is one of the best social networking sites out there. It is free and very resourceful in about anything.
