Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
and Linkedin are four notable social networking sites that I’m familiar with
and for the most part use on a daily basis. The impressions I have of each
respective social networking sites are all different, because each social
networking site evokes a different interface to me personally. I tend to use
Instagram a lot, simply because it’s one of the easiest social networking sites
to use, and it’s a matter of just swiping downwards to see what new posts that
your friends and notable people that you follow, post. Instagram connects you
to more strangers and other pages that may spark your interest, so I find
Instagram to be more personal and more entertaining out of the four social
networking sites. Facebook is easy to communicate with people you generally
know, whether it’s with your family or your own peers, it’s quite easy to see
what they are posting and what they like on Facebook that might interest you.
Facebook is a bit more intimate, in terms of the people you add onto your
friends list, as you get to see stuff they choose to post revealing a lot of
what events they are participating in and etc. Then there’s twitter, twitter is
starting to look more like Facebook and has basically the same concept behind
it. Twitter allows people to “tweet” about things they finding concerning or
relevant to their respect accounts. Our own President tends to use Twitter for
his “presidential purpose” and it’s a way to keep people updated on any
situation with a brief little commentary. Twitter and Facebook resemble each
other quite a lot in terms of the content that’s being posted within their
sites. As for LinkedIn, I find it quite parallel to Facebook, although the
great thing about LinkedIn, is that it’s solely based on career and job
postings rather than other nonsense. On LinkedIn we get to follow people, but
typically what’s posted is stuff that helps with people’s respective careers.
LinkedIn out of all the social networking sites that I mentioned, has one of
the more concentrated content(s) involved within their website. LinkedIn helps
people find jobs, learn more about companies, and gets you connected to
coworkers, clients, mentors, etc. Overall all these social networking sites
have their own unique way of connecting people, and despite having differences in
how or why the networking site is used, they ultimately perform the same
ultimate function which is allowing people to communicate quickly and stay
connected.
Currently I have not added any content as of yet, but what I do intend to add to the Class Wiki page(s) are: Update some of the content in the YouTube page in the Class Wiki, talking about more up and coming YouTubers who have impacted the community as well as changed the social media game for years to come. I'll also include another prominent YouTube channel like Complex into the YouTube page of our class wiki. I'll be explaining the significance of these more recent YouTube channels while updating that page in our class wiki. I will also incorporate more information on the Social Networking page, and delving into the "Live" features of social networking sites or apps such as "Facebook Live" or "Instagram Live." With my research I will explain more about what Live Streaming is, and how it is the future of social media. I will also look over the content in our Class Wiki, and attempt to edit and fix the content on these pages looking to eith...
