Social Networking Sites

Facebook - It is the site that I go most often.
  • More difficult to navigate and update
  • Many applications being developed, such as find people, make connections, email, instant messaging, image/video sharing, make comments, etc.
  • It is a social networking Portal which beckoning you not to leave but rather to stick around and communicate within the network.
  • It appeals to people looking to reconnect with old friends and family members or find new friends online.
  • It limited 420 characters per update.
  • People have to send Friend Request to the person they would like to follow.
MySpace -
  • More difficult to navigate and update
  • MySpace but more geared to adults than teens,
  • Many applications being developed, such as find people, make connections, email, instant messaging, image/video sharing, make comments, etc.
  • Unless your MySpace is set to private, viewers from all over the world have access to your page.
  • It seems less secure than other three sites, because one could pretend someone to be on MySpace and sometimes ruin someone’s reputation or even their life.
Twitter - I think this site is much easier to navigate than other three sites.
  • It get more immediate responses and it seems to live somewhere between the worlds of email, instant messaging and blogging.
  • It is a big community, when you tweet; it reaches far beyond your inner circle of friends.
  • Anyone can follow anyone unless blocked.
  • Limited functionality; find people, send brief messages, direct replies, image/video sharing, etc.
  •   Limited to 140 characters per Tweet.
Blogger -
  • Easy to use
  • No text limitation to New posts.
  • Ready-made themes and widgets available
  • Anyone can view
  • In order to follow someone's blog, you could add that person's blog URL to your blog list.
