Social Networking

There are many different ways to communicate in today's World via online social media. I personally have a facebook account and use youtube on a regular basis. These are just two of the many different websites that seem to be the new form of communication online. We read a few different articles on twitter and the authors opinions on the website. I personally am not interested in tweeting my thoughts and feelings throughout the day. I have a lot of friends who use twitter and love it, but I can not see myself using the small amount of free time that I have in my day to tweet to the rest of the World about what I am doing. I have never blogged until this class so I mainly used facebook as my communication through social media. I used to get on facebook a lot more than I have recently, I just have not had the time to get on at a consistent basis like I used to. I choose to use facebook over twitter because I like having a profile with pictures and information section over the 140-character maximum tweet that twitter allows. I think that twitter and facebook will continue to succeed for a while where as myspace has started to fade away, at least for the people in my generation that I am friends with.
