Social Networking Sites

There are many social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Google+ among others.  The mentioned four websites have as purpose to make connection between people. In my opinion, Facebook, MySpace, and Google+ have a very similar structure. They allow users to write postings, postings can be long. Users can post pictures, or create albums, as many as they want. Google+ offers the option to use Hangouts that allow users to chat with their friends face-to-face, while Facebook is only text chat. Also Facebook, MySpace, and Google+ have the option to connect with friends only –privacy feature- which is very important.

Contrary to Facebook, Google+ and Twitter make possible for users to find others that are interested on different topics. Although, Twitter shares tweets from users that cannot be longer than 160 characters, reducing the size of their postings, and it allows only one picture for the profiles. Twitter offers a quick sharing of ideas. Twitter and Google+ might expand the communication to people with our same interests but different from our group of friends.

In conclusion, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Google+ offer their users to experience a social connection with others, opening their opportunities, improving their experience, and increasing their knowledge. With different features and applications, each of these websites has contributed to the social networking revolution.
