Social Media Sites and How They Compare to One Another

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, as well as Snapchat are all social media sites that have things in common and are different from one another. Out of all four of these sites, Facebook is undoubtedly the most popular, but not necessarily the most effective, as Facebook is kind of a jack of all trades when it comes to focusing on certain applications of social media. Users have the ability to write posts, share photos and videos, as well as create small businesses. This is advantageous in a certain way since users have the ability to write posts and share media, however, if users want a more focused approach, they would opt for either twitter, which focuses on writing posts, or Instagram, which focuses on the media portion. Snapchat is unique in its own right, since users can create stories that can be sent to friends and viewed for a few seconds, and dissapears after 24 hours. It is more of a "live in the moment" approach and is usually not used for serious matters like the other three sites would be. All these sites except for Snapchat can be used to find jobs as well as promote businesses.
