Social Networking Sites


The sites I choose to view were Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, & Google+.  When viewing these 4 sites I couldn't help but realize that all have a Facebook feel when it came down to its simple and user friendly layout. Myspace, which I haven't visited in years has went under a massive makeover which is completely different from back 4-5 years ago. There seems to be a bigger emphasis on promoting music rather than actual social connections. Google+, the newest of the 4 looks as if they completely copied Facebook idea and just switched up the terms used for connecting. I have to admit Facebook has also borrowed concepts like making groups from Google+. 
Of the 4, twitter seems to be the easiest to connect to and use due to your 140 character limit. This always keeps me reminded to keep it short and simple at all times. Also with twitter ability to tag someone in you tweet is a plus. Facebook has copied this concept as well recently which I find useful when wanting to share a post about several friends.
