Social Networking Sites

The sites I visited were Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn. Each and every one of these sites had differences and similarities. First off, LinkedIn is the most “serious”. It is used so individuals could obtain jobs and reach out and network with other people in their industry. There is no status updating, following anyone, or becoming “friends”. I believe that Facebook and myspace are similar in the simplicity of using it. Both add friends, and are used for more of a social aspect, not finding jobs like LinkedIn. Twitter is similar to facebook and myspace in few ways. One way is that, like on facebook and myspace you can have “friends” on twitter you can follow anyone you would like; even celebrities. LinkedIn doesn’t have much in common with these sites at all in my opinion. Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace are used for social interactions, while LinkedIn is used to move forward with your future.
