SNS or Social Networking Site is one of the most powerful media nowadays. Almost everyone knows hot to use it and yes, truth be told, almost everyone has an account at every SNS available. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Ask.fm are some of the most common networking sites accessible to the public and all of these are very easy to use. I honestly have SNS accounts too and I am pretty active. I use this media to express my inner thoughts publicly and of course, to tell my friends a story they must hear from me.
There is also something in SNS that catches everyone's attention. It entertains everyone and it helps us to keep in touch with people we treasure. The social media cares for us although sometimes, it may seem to have disadvantages.
One of the articles I've read about social media sites is Top 15 Most Popular Social Networking Sites by Alexa Rank from www.ebizmba.com. The blog is all about the most popular or most commonly used sites in the social media industry. Facebook ranked 1 and the rest are (in order): Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, tumblr, flickr, VK, Instagram, MySpace, Tagged, Meet up, Ning, Meet me and Classmates.
The next article for teenagers and they might agree with this. The article is named Teenagers and social networking – it might actually be good for them. It is written by Clive Thompson from theguardian.com. She said that "Parents are wrong to worry that kids don't care about privacy. In fact, they spend hours tweaking Facebook settings or using quick-delete sharing tools, such as Snapchat, to minimise their traces. Or they post a photograph on Instagram, have a pleasant conversation with friends and then delete it so that no traces remain."

In the end, she said that the goal for socializing online is not just to talk to each other but to forge a connection.
With these, I could say that the social media sites are not just for entertainment and self-satisfaction. We can form friendship and also connect with people online and forge a close bond with them. I am full of hope that people, especially the teenagers, will use the sns properly. Do not be self centered and use SNS properly to form a friendship noone can eve break.
“Social media isn't something that you "do",
instead you have to "be" social.”
For me, this quote means that social media isn't built for nothing. It is built for a purpose and that is to socialize with people living beyond internet.
