This past weekend, my cousin and I were talking about Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Since I'm new to twitter, I was basically bombarding her with questions, who does she follow? What is 'tweet worthy'? Does she have personal information on her twitter? These question led into a fairly long discussion about the social networking sites we are a part of and how they differ. We agreed that Facebook is the site we have the most privacy on, we did this because we both felt Facebook has the alot personal information about ourselves. On Facebook I am aware of who has access to my page, my friends are mainly family members and friends I met in person beforehand. I feel comfortable sharing where I am and who I am with in pictures on Facebook, because I know and trust my 'facebook friends'. However, I also censor my Facebook to a certain extent, I know what my family members approve and disapprove, so I keep that into consideration when I post statuses.
Surprisingly, my cousin felt that she had a lot of freedom on twitter. This got me thinking, do we feel like we have more freedom on twitter because we are basically anonymous? Should I stay anonymous on twitter? Or should I connect my twitter to my instagram and my other social networking sites?
I found this post funny Audra, simply because I seem lost in the world of Twitter and have lately been asking my friend a million questions!!
