Social Networking Sites

     My first impression of Facebook, I didn't find all that interesting and never been a fan of. I feel as though it is getting less popular and people typically don't say "follow me on Facebook" anymore. I assign the social networking of Facebook to more of the older generation like my mother and college students because there are a lot of Facebook groups in college. I love Twitter and think its the best social networking site. I believe its the quickest way to educate yourself and see things that are hidden in media. Also, its your best bet for contacting someone or capturing your attention. Twitter is more of a trendsetter for other apps because Twitter knows information first, then the other social networking sites trickle in after with the same information. Instagram is generally lagging in the past couple of years and I believe more and more people would eventually leave the app. The timeline is the biggest problem because you don't see your followers content anymore and you'll see posts from two days ago or even a week. Instagram is great for posting pictures and most likely finding other relatives or friends from the past. Lastly, Snapchat is a great app for personal use and allows you the power to have private stories(certain people can view your story). It's fun how whatever you post can last up to 24 hours. One disadvantage is how addicting the filters are and it makes people not show their true selves using the filter as a cover up.
