Every
21st century compliant individual would agree with me that there’s
been an insurgence of social networks. Realistically this has opened the
social space so vividly that everyone is spoilt for choice or simply best seen
and known on a specific platform.
Irrespective
of where or what social network sooths the most for us to wine, dine and dwell Facebook
still holds the ace as the most dynamic, most revered and most visited social
network. Just in case you are wondering WHY?
(I)
Facebook
Supports All Digital Formats – There exist about four major digital format
upon which social networks leverages their functionality, value and background.
These formats are TEXT, IMAGE, VIDEO and AUDIO. Platforms like Instagram leverages
on short videos and images, Twitter leverages on short text, SoundCloud
leverages on Audio, YouTube on video but Facebook supports all and allows you
even do more.
(II)
Negates Class Of
Bragging Rights – Many
social platforms aren’t so social, and to be social you have to be truly
transparent for all to see, meet and greet. Platforms like Twitter/Instagram
allows for class struggles due to unreciprocated friendship known as (FOLLOW or
UNFOLLOW). The struggle for followers
and not true friends has bred the
class struggle that silently irritates and annoys many. But for Facebook it’s a
different scenario and for all who are friends on Facebook, they are truly
friends or likely to become true friends.
(III)
Real Time
Interaction – Like
Instant messaging which (BBM, Whatsapp) dominates, video calling forted by
(Skype, Oovoo) Facebook allows everyone the opportunity to communicate in
several ways which includes video calls, instant messaging, posting of all
kinds e.g. Image, text & video. Facebook is the most interactive social network
with the most unique chronological timeline feature. On Facebook you could
spend time viewing peoples profile, navigating through profiles and getting to
know more about a person before communication or contact is made, this creates an easy way of making people
interact easily.
(IV)
Integrates With
Other Social Networks – Facebook is one of the very few social networks that
allow you the capacity to integrate whatever to it or the other way round. Facebook integrates with Twitter, Instagram,
blogs, Pinterest, websites, YouTube, SoundCloud, Hulkshare, Tumblr and just name it.
(V)
Universal Appeal
– If
one takes a geographical data of how people
all over the world make use of social networks you’ll quickly realize that Facebook
is not restricted to any region, continent or zone because of its universal appeal.
Unlike some social network that are typified for a certain class of people or
region/continent.
