We're living in a time where there are so many social networking sites at our fingertips. Some of the popular ones are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.
My first impression of Facebook was good because it has a user-friendly interface. Everyone can sign up and posting on facebook is very easy, hardly any problems. Facebook users are able to keep in touch with friends and family, as well as reconnect with long-lost friends. Facebook makes it simple to share photos, videos, status posts and feelings on Facebook. As for Twitter, I was intrigued by the 'microblogging' system that twitter has, which makes it easier for you to send and receive short posts which are referred to as tweets. Tweets can be up to 280 character long and you can include links, photos or videos if you like. I don't use twitter that much but I have come to realized that it's the fastest and best way to get notified about anything that is going on in the world. Instagram is very easy to use and I like that, it's more of a visual platform. Where you are able to post pictures, like pictures, browse through some hashtags and get lost through negativing people's pictures. However, recently instagram has been changing its platform and you don't just see content of people you follow, you also get other feeds that you may not be interested in, that can cause many to shy away form the site. Lastly, my impression of Pinterest was therapeutic like, because Pinterest is an image sharing social network, where you save and discover images that can be informational, creative or inspirational in the form of pinboards. You don't have to have any dialogue with anyone, through images you can become your own curator.
Overall, social networking sites are beneficial to business owners because it allows them to reach out to their customers in any part of the world as well as gain the attention of potential customers.
