In recent years, social media has had huge presence on the Internet. Many people use social media to get their news, stay connected with loved ones, and stay entertained. Four social media giants, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn, topple over other networks.
Facebook is the largest of all social media networks with 1.15 billion daily users. The site is easy to navigate through and very modern looking. On the right hand side panel there are advertisements that make it seem a little cluttered. But the platform as a whole is organized. The left hand side panel has quick links to groups, favorites, and applications.
The Twitter homepage is similar to the Facebook homepage. All of the Tweets from the people you follow take up most of the space and trends are on the side. The color scheme is also similar. They both use blue and white, but Facebook's shade of blue is darker.
Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Instagram does not have much copy to read. The majority of the space is taken up by photos taken by its users. They recently launched a feature that allows people to share photos and videos temporarily.
LinkedIn is a professional networking site that allows you to connect with colleagues and peers. It is different from the other platforms because it's not as casual. The website itself has a darker color scheme and a more serious tone.
