“FACEBOOK BEHAVIOR”
Back in 2010,when i was at age 12 ,"sosial networking" is most porpular things that happen when talk about sosial communication.One day,i was in my class doing my usually thing while my friends were doing some homework that was given by Mrs.Rohana who was our BM's teacher.At one time,one of my friend named Amirul was playing with his phone while chatting with someone.I ask him "what app did you use"? and he reaply "i use twitter,because i like to tweet a lot".At that time, it was the only “must join” social network because Facebook was already cliche.
All of my friends thought I was "not up to date person" for not signing up for a Twitter.Then i created my very first Twitter account to meet and collect e-friends, but I had an intuition that there was something worthwhile, not to mention efficient, about networking online.Over the next two years, I collected over 500 friends on Twitter despite never seeing the benefit of having so many friends for only “social” reasons.Honestly, in 500 friends that i have i only know 10 person.After becoming progressively more frustrated with the useless Twitter tweet that give only 140 words to update the status, I deactive my account in November 2012 and haven’t looked back since. A month later, I started my personal blog. Social networking for me evolved from Twitter to blogging; one of the best decisions I have ever made was to migrate my social networking to my blog.
Ever since Facebook opened their registration to everyone, my cousin and many others have encouraged me to sign up. As a result of my useless Twitter experience, I never saw value in signing up for another social service that provided little-to-no professional benefit.To get to the point of this story, I never thought I would say this, but I finally signed up for Facebook and have to say that I have been VERY impressed.
To me, what makes Facebook much more legitimate than Twitter are several things:
- The applications built into Facebook, such as photo and event sharing, are far greater ahead of Twitter.
- With the new Facebook Ads platform, you can reach a niche audience with relevant and highly-targeted ads and optimize your site with onsite analytics.
- Instantly when you register, it more easily facilitates finding old friends and other people you know. Case in point, within 24 hours of signing up for Facebook (and not even publicly announcing it to anyone), I received over 30 friend requests from people I know.
I am sure this is not news to most of you who use Facebook, but the technologies, networking tools, and web applications built into it are incredibly intuitive and advanced.Facebook’s photo sharing application is the most widely used one on the Web (according to comScore).Probably the coolest thing about Facebook is that it is a platform on which others can build applications. There are currently over 7,000 applications that have been built on Facebook. Applications can do everything from displaying quotes of your friend’s favorite pop artists to allowing you to showcase your recent blog posts on the Facebook profile.
Honestly, it is surprising even to me that I didn’t sign up for Facebook earlier. Reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones is done much more easily and professionally through Facebook.Even though Facebook is far ahead of Twitter as far as technologies, application, networking tools, and professional benefits.
