Social Networking Sites

Wikipedia defines social networking site as an online platform which people use to build social networks or social relations with other people who share similar personal or career interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.

For example:

1. Facebook: It is the online platform that I use most because it allows me to connect with my relatives who are in another country. For me, this social media is really simple, easy to access and easy to understand. You can simple share photos, upload and watch videos, exchange messages, post status and react to them. Also, Facebook has privacy controls that you can set, so you protect the information you want to share and with who you want to share it. Businesses use this social networking because they can analyze their target audience and deliver ads directly to them.

2. Whatsapp: It is an app which you can download for free, and it is used to send messages, images, audios or videos. I like this app because I can call a person in a different country for free because Whatsapp uses the Internet to do everything. I also like it because it allows you to make a group conversation, send voice messages and share your location. You can use this app on your phone, but also in your desktop.

3.Twitter: It is social networking where you can post short messages with a limited number of characters up to 140, and they could be delivered to the world. Those short text messages are called tweets. Businesses like this networking site because now Twitter offers the option to do shopping online, so they can promote their business and allow users to shop directly through tweets. 

4. LinkedIn: This social networking is popular for professionals people, and the reason most of them prefer to use this site is that it is available in different languages. This is an ideal platform to connect with various businesses, locate and hire ideal candidates because all types of professionals use it across the world.
