Social Networking Sites

Social networking seems to be a very competitive and saturated market. Social networking has expanded in so many genres now that it’s extremely difficult to gain market share using a new, maybe even innovative application.

To me, social networking is contingent on its user, and everyone has a different set of preferences. Some enjoy having the ability to edit and change these preferences and some simply like to stick to the classics. I have to say that Facebook has done an amazing job in its layout and user-friendliness. Although there have been complaints about the lack of privacy along with the constant changing interfaces of Facebook, you can't say that it's easy pleasing everyone. Myspace on the other hand allows for countless customizations to show one's unique taste and work. Whether its the layout, music or a cool animation, Myspace offers a plethora of customization preferences that allows a large amount of personalization. In my opinion, however, Myspace may be too messy and disorganized at times. Twitter on the other hand is extremely straight-forward and user friendly. Everything is very accessible and easy to use, and it’s clean cut and not messy in any way whatsoever.

For the fourth social networking platform, I chose Instragram. Instagram share many similarities with Twitter - good quality pictures/content and an extremely user-friendly website. In general, I like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and hold a really positive impression from a user's perspective. If there was more time in a day, I would definitely be using these applications to my leisure.
