The fact of the matter is that all these outlets pretty much do same thing, which is share information through the world wide web and make it personalized for the individual. Lets be honest though not all social media sites are made equally. We can all agree that Facebook pretty much has the edge on its competition and I feel it has to do with the way they entered the scene. Myspace was the number one social media site at the time and Everyone had an account! The easy to make and use account was fantastic for the user back then. It almost felt a necessity to have a Myspace. Facebook in the other hand required a school email which almost brought a level of exclusivity to the front. The only people one was allowed to communicate with where users affiliated with college and to hit such a young demographic only boosted my thoughts on Facebook at the time. I almost felt that i was more safe using Facebook compared to Myspace. I don't even actually think i know anyone that uses Myspace anymore.
Now with twitter I feel that its fantastic way to keep up with the world and their thoughts. As young adults we find out more about ourselves and develop interests that we may not have not known that we may have had. So when it comes to politics the arts and sciences there a plethora of experts in their fields that have thoughts that we love to hear or may sometimes love to ridicule. Google plus on the other hand keeps me up to date with people that I need to be in touch with, people that are gonna effect my life more directly. Its a great way for close ones to keep in touch as well as business partners. Google plus saves time and effort, makes transactions a lot more easier and is more than likely here to stay. Social media has come a long way from the Myspace days and there are so many avenues in which one may take.
