Social Networking Sites

Facebook: Facebook is among the most famous and widely social networking website among people of all age. I have been using Facebook since high school and I think it’s great site because it allows to me to keep in touch with my friends. I can add friends, upload pictures, play games, send links, etc… I love playing poker on Facebook because I can play with my friends who are online at the moment on Facebook. The best part of Facebook is getting invited to events. I think that is the best feature about Facebook. If I want to invite someone to a party, all I have to do is create an event and send out the invitations. Facebook is great!
LinkedIn: LinkedIn is a more professional social networking website. I only use this to network with recruiters and employers. It is a great site to look for job opportunities. You have to keep this site clean of any personal things that you have on Facebook but don’t want your employer seeing (for ex/ pictures!) Also, I feel that since it is more professional, the use of internet slang should not be used here.
MySpace: MySpace is another social networking website where you can make new friends and share your pictures, music and videos. The biggest difference between Facebook and myspace is that you can customize your own webpage and add any type of animation you want. It was very popular back in high school but I did not use it much. I am more of a Facebook person.
Twitter: My twitter life just started last week when I created the account. So far I think twitter is okay. I know I will not be using it much after this semester because I don’t think I have the time to update my tweets every 2-3 minutes. But I like to read what people are tweeting about. It’s actually good entertainment. Twitter is good for “light reading.” I have not learned how to do anything fancy on twitter yet (add tags) but I will learn gradually.
