When I log on to Facebook my impressions the top 3 icons on the top right. I usually check for any new friend request, new messages, or just random notifications. For Facebook it used to be very hyped back then where people would post on other's wall when they communicate and other friends will comment on the post. Now it's just if there's a birthday, people will post on their wall wishing them a happy birthday. When they find a viral video that relates to you they will @(insert your name). I personally mainly use Facebook for group messaging with friends.
When I first started Twitter, my first impression was that it was pointless and useless because who would care about what I tweet out anyways. I realized it was great for networking and connecting with people with similar interest. For me, I like collecting sneakers so I would follow people that are consistently tweeting updates on where a new shoe might come out earlier than its expected release date.
Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Instagram is based on posting pictures or videos where followers can like and comment on them. When people use hashtag on their pictures, they try to reach out to people with similar interests. I have a few friends that are bloggers that uses #blogger , #ootd(outfit of the day) and it would attract people that are fashion bloggers to follow her page.
YouTube is probably well known as one of the top social media website. My first impression of Youtube is that there were so many different videos you can watch from different genre(vloggers, comedy, pranks, makeup tutorial, etc). I even watched a Youtuber that specializes in tutoring people in calculus ,when I was taking a calculus at Baruch.
Facebook is great with reconnect with your old friends. Twitter is a way to tweet about your daily activity or to follow people that tweets out stuff that interest you. Instagram and Youtube uses photos and videos to reach out to their followers.
I definitely agree with your response. I usually check those same exact websites to check for new friend request, missed messages or notifications. I do believe Facebook is the best social media site out there because I'm constantly communicating with family or friends. YouTube mostly provide videos across any platform and sharing it throughout the globe. Instagram is mostly used for posting pictures or video while allowing your friends and family to like or comment it. I just believe that any hot trends that are posted on different social media sites will eventually make there way to Facebook. Probably that's why I believe it's the best social media sites by far because it's like the golden standard of social media. But, ultimately it boils down to individual preference of accessing content on these social media sites.
