Blog: Social networking sites

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are all social networking platforms but are all very different from each other. On YouTube, there are a multitude of videos you can choose from once you go on the website. The videos are put into different categories. When you choose a video, it brings you onto a different page. On that page the video plays and while the video plays there is a long list of videos next to the video playing. Usually these videos are recommendations or videos that are like the one you are watching now. Instagram is very different from YouTube. There are videos on Instagram but Instagram is predominantly pictures. When you go onto Instagram you will only see pictures posted by the people you follow. But there is also a link to see what your followers liked and you can explore trendy pictures as well. Twitter is very different from YouTube and Instagram. There are no pictures or videos. Instead when you get on Twitter you will see posts that your followers have posted or retweeted. Facebook is like a combination of YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. You can post videos, pictures, and share posts. Facebook is very complex because you can join groups and play games. On the right-hand side, there is also a section for trendy news articles. Although these social networking platforms are very different from each other they all share the ability to comment on each other’s posts whether it’s a video, picture or a post. They all also can share something you see to anyone you want to and they have very similar privacy features.

  1. You provided a well and brief description of the social media sites that were chosen. I also agree that out of all the sites you've discussed, Facebook is an all around site for bringing videos, pictures, statuses together in one platform. No wonder why the company is making so much money. But yes, Facebook is a very interactive site and I think that it'll continue to outshine the many other sites of social media today.
