I found that my friends use Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr and VSCO camera. My friends use Twitter to keep up with celebrities, news, and memes. Out of the friends that I talked to they said that Twitter is their most used social media platform. My friends use Instagram to share pictures on public profiles that are seen as “respectable,” but three of my friends also keep private “finstas” to post pictures that they would not want an employer or their parents to see. My friends don’t use Facebook very often, but when they do it is to share articles, keep up with events, and update their family member on their lives. My friends use LinkedIn to make professional connections, Tumblr to explore their creative interests, and VSCO camera to share pictures that they don’t want to share on instagram. They all said that Facebook or LinkedIn is their preferred platform to share with new people or employers.
