Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites have been a part of my life ever since grade school. I have an account in all of the following: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I've noticed several differences that really distinguishes each of these sites from each other. Myspace was the first social networking site I signed up for. My impression of this site is its compatibility for music. It is easy to share personal or others' music through Myspace, which is why artists tend to be members of it as well. Facebook has the impression of being a mediating platform in which people from all over the world can post comments, thoughts, statuses, pictures, and even videos on others' pages. This creates a site in which we all can use to connect without limitations with people. Twitter is something new in my life, and has made an impression of a quick, but effective method of communicating ideas and thoughts. LinkedIn has had a lasting impression on me because it connects professionals and students with potentials. All of these sites have their own unique characteristics, which makes them all popular and attracts users.
