Social Networking Sites

I chose to look at Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Tumblr. These four social media sites are quite interesting and serve different purposes. On a personal level, Facebook keeps me connected to my friends, family and previous teachers...as it does for many others of different ages. Twitter focuses on quick updates an individual lets their followers know - whether it's about an article they read, a concern they have, or any situation they can quickly sum up. Snapchat's main focus is communicating through quick pictures, video, and messages for a max. of ten seconds. Tumblr focuses on blogging pictures with comments or descriptions on topics the blogger tends to focus on. It's interesting to see the different target audience and purpose these sites have.
