BLOG: Social Networking Sites

My impressions of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn are that they are all social media sites. There are all social media sites but they are all different in what they are trying to promote. Facebook is a site in which you make a profile and talk to friends, post pictures. Facebook also allows people to interact with other people’s posts showing up on a news feed. Twitter is a place for people to interact with people they necessarily do not know personally. For twitter many celebrities use it to communicate with fans on a daily basis. The new MySpace is place for promoting music it seems. It gives artists a way to distribute their music and gain a fan following. All these sites are an important tool for many companies so they can issue non-formal statements, settle customer feedback in a way that is not expensive and not time consuming. Another social media site is LinkedIn; this site is mainly for professional people who are looking to make contacts in their desired field. With these contacts they can find jobs if they quit their current job or get fired. Basically what this site is so people can network themselves better and can find better opportunities for themselves without having to go to conventions or meet ups. These are my impressions of the social media websites Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn.
