Social Networking Sites

The purpose of social networking sites is to express yourself in text, media, or any other digital form to your friends and to the world.  Instagram is a social media app that allows the sharing of pictures and feedback from those pictures through comments and likes.  Facebook is used in a more versatile way.  You can share pictures, statuses, create events, join groups, and surf your news feed.  Twitter is used to update your statuses at a frequent rate about something you are doing or thinking about.  Your followers can read your tweets and engage in them if they want to by retweeting, replying, and favoriting.  LinkedIn is a social networking platform catered to professional connections.  You can give a detailed description of your professional life and connect with others in a more formal way.
