Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat


Facebook is dedicated mainly to stories, games, page promotions and pictures. You can share pictures and stories about your day, news or other posts. You can chat and use Facebook’s video call worldwide. Facebook doesn’t have a time limit for either pictures or videos.

Twitter is mainly to share serious elements such as news. Twitter also has games, built-in analytics and page promotion. Twitter is very detailed, it has a smaller character limit, up to only 280 characters.

Instagram is mainly dedicated to pictures, stories, game and webpage promotion. Instagram has a time limit on videos (you can only upload up to 60 seconds) and pictures (you can upload 10 pictures per post).

SnapChat is mainly dedicated to pictures, viewers, and screenshot notifications. SnapChat is mostly used for per-day activities. For example, you can post pictures and videos but your followers are able to view only within 24hrs of your upload, because it will automatically archive it after a day.

Form my point of view, Facebook is best for chatting and video calls. Twitter is the best for sharing news. Instagram is best for sharing pictures, and SnapChat is best for sharing in-the-moment pictures.

Even sending out the semester calendar for students at the very beginning of the semester will help them plan ahead. Secondly, I’ll like to suggest that Baruch make changes to the login information, like “user ID and user Password” for the library, the computers at campus, and the campus Wi-Fi. Baruch “suggests” students and faculties to use the same format to access these facilities. For example: the user name is “first name initial. last name”   (j.thomas), and the password is “yyMmmdd + last 4 digit social number” (02Nov911234). I think having the same format for“passwords” might cause problems. For example,, if there is someone who knows your information, they will easily be able to access your ac...

Wiki So Far

I did edition and added graphics to the exist page “New Media’s Presence in The Healthcare Industry”.

I added more than 5 paragraphs and added references to my all work, uploaded images and many more other things.
