Social Networking sites

All the social networking sites that exist today have their own purposes and attract users in their unique way. While they all allow people to communicate with others, everyone has different preferences when it comes to social media sites. When logging into Facebook, the first thing that catches my eye is how there are so many tabs with information. The news feed is the section that opens up first and underneath can be found the messenger section. There even is a watchlist tab with the latest episodes of what users watched. I personally am not a fan of the layout of Facebook just because I feel like it's too cluttered and this is why I prefer not to use it. When I first created a Twitter account, I liked how there were far less tabs than Facebook but just didn't like how bland it was. I later realized that it was because I hadn't followed many people yet and that I also didn't customize my twitter page. One other thing I didn't like about Twitter when I first started using it was the fact that there was a word limit. I feel like once I start writing, there's so much I can go on to say but Twitter doesn't allow that to happen. Next, Instagram is one of my favorite social networking sites. I love being able to share pictures with captions that can be really long and also being able to see everyone else's pictures in a organized manner. I like that I could mute stories if someone ever has a super long one and I also really like that I could make my stories visible to only a certain amount of people. Personally, the layout of Instagram is one of my favorites, mainly because of how organized it is. Last but not least, Snapchat was one of my favorite social media networks but throughout the years, I've noticed myself liking Instagram more. When you first open up Snapchat, it goes straight to the camera and allows you to use different types of filters when taking pictures/videos. On the left side you have a chat section where you and your friends can communicate with one another and react to pictures/videos. The right side has stories posted by your friends and now recently news outlets have also been added, where they post highlights of what is going on around the world. Each of these social networking sites have a big impact on society today in their own way.
