Twitter- I initially started this account mainly to follow news. It is easy to get handy, everything is pretty straight forward for someone like me, who is familiar with mobile friendly social media platforms. And it's simple. My impression was that it functions almost like texting for those who is active. It's a great platform to communicate, to stay connected and interactive with others.
Facebook- it's a site where we stay connected with friends. It's fun with all the game options where users can invite their friends to play, as well as different entertainment activities. Some requires to exit the site to its sponsored site. It seems to provide a high security options to protect users, such as the option to allow selected group of friends to see a post. A lot of ads and they seem to be using cookies for their relevance. Definitely the largest content platform amongst all.
LinkedIn- I was invited to create an account from someone who I once worked with. The theme on the page says business, and it really differentiate them from other social networking site. Its function is very similar to the previous version of Facebook before the recent upgrade. Users post, give likes, comments, and share. Except that it's contents are much more informative.
Instagram- simplest platform of all four. It's like sharing an up-to-date photo album and user can choose to either share it with the public or reserve the account for people they know. And it allows users to post selectively, providing more security and privacy.
In conclusion, all of them seem to be providing a similar service made free for everyone, and yet, they each have their specialty. They are all available platforms to enable friends to stay connected no matter where they are. And yet, they are different by tailoring themselves to better service the slightly different groups of audience.
