Social Networking Sites

     I visited Facbook, Myspace, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I feel comfortable with using Facebook and Twitter than other two social networking sites. Since I am a user of Facebook,I think Facebook is something you can use for casual talk with your friends, planning get-togethers, or just sharing your opinion with other people. It is good for social networking more than business. Twitter looks very similar to Facebook in the way of using it. They both are generally used for sharing people’s opinion and pictures or videos they post. However, there are some differences between them. Facebook has no limitation of letters when you post something. Also, you can post a video and others can watch it directly from your facebook account which is connected to Youtube. On the other hand, Twitter is allowed only up to 140 characters long every time you post something. So Twitter is better when you spread news or ideas with short messages in a fastest way.

     Myspace’s popularity went down rapidly. However, some people still use it for music. You can stream any song you'd like on Myspace and connect with the artist as well. Myspace has changed a lot of things since its business is not good. But there are cons from this renewal. You cannot import your settings and profile information from an old Myspace account. Also, it looks like Myspace became more complicated to use and manage the settings.

      I have never been on Linkedin, but I heard that this website is good for professional networking with others. Even professional recruiters use this website to find their customer companies’ potential employees. The website looks simple to use and is good to search people and have a connection with them.
