Social networking sites

TWITTER:  

Twitter was the first social media I joined way back in 2009 and the reason I still use it to this this day is the speed in which you received information. Twitter's popularity is worldwide so you can also interact with people around the world. You can interact with your favorite celebrities, businesses or simply follow people that out out content you enjoy. The use of # can also show you what a trending topic is and you can even create your own. You can make your twitter very personal where you share your thoughts and opinions. You just have to be careful with the information you share. Businesses and individuals use twitter to interact with their consumers and further establish their brand.

FACEBOOK:   

Facebook was one of the leading social media platforms and it's still popular but it's definitely taken a back seat to other platforms. Facebook is a place where you can keep your friends and family up to date with what your doing. At its start it was aimed towards college students to interact with one another. It grew to have millions of users worldwide and became one of the most popular social media sites. But in recent years many have stopped using it because of privacy issues and because of the increase of adults using it. Before Facebook was a place where mostly teens used it but now you can find your parents, grandparents are all using Facebook. It just not as fun to use Facebook because you have to be careful of who can see your post. 

INSTAGRAM:  

Instagram is a platform where you can share pictures and videos with your followers. Your profile can be personal or business related. Many business and celebrities use Instagram since it allows them to keep consumers up to date with what they are doing. The latest updates on the platform allows you to put of stories that stay for 24 hours and you can also go live. This platform allows you to be very creative with the content you choose to share and it does allow you to edit pictures and videos.

SNAPCHAT:   

Snapchat is a platform that allows you to share stories of 15 sec videos or pictures that stay up for 24 hours and disappear after that time frame. Businesses and Celebrties also use this platform to share information about their products or projects. It has numerous filters which is what widen its appeal. This is my least favorite platform which is why I rarely use it.
