My Social Networks

I am a Facebook junkie. I absolutely love it. I use it to stay connected with all of my friends going as far back as middle school as well as family members I only get to see every few years due to distance. It is easy for me to use because everything is laid out perfectly for me such as where to write my status, add pictures, write on others walls, and more. I am not that great at using technology but Facebook makes sure its easy for everyone to use. My favorite part about Facebook is how it incorporates pictures. It really helps me get to know others better cause I can see them in their environments. The site recently just changed by adding a bigger picture at the top. While I love a lot going on on my wall, I wouldn't change anything about it right now because it might get too crowded where I won't know what is going on or what I am looking at. I do not like the News Feed page that much because every time I try to scroll down and read others posts it skips around and can never keep up. It annoys me to the point that I hardly read anything else beyond what I see when I first log in. It is extremely collaborative because everyone is commenting on everyone else's comments and statuses, adding their inputs and opinions on subjects. We are able to post videos and news stories on our pages and it catches the interests of people and creates discussions about them.

Twitter is another social network that I use but I do not use as often. I still use it but I do not "tweet" as much as most people. Maybe on the weekends I will post something and I have only posted one picture while others practically have albums on their pages. I just do not find it as interactive. This site is all about posting a status as many times a day as you want. On Facebook people write sentences about song lyrics or what they are doing that day while on Twitter it could range from what someones favorite socks are to where they are eating that moment. That is what makes it different though. It is colorful and gives you a vibe of being chill and calm. It allows you to just vent about what is on your mind and not feel pressured about if others will like it or not. If I were to change something about this sight it would be to choose who you see more posts from on the homepage. I feel like when I log in, I read posts about people I do not care about and even though my good friends post all the time, their posts do not show up hardly ever. Considering how much other people like it and use it, I think I may start trying to use it more and find myself adapted to it.
