My initial impression of Facebook was that there is an influx of information and photos on my timeline. Facebook allows people to present information through sharing links, photos, status updates, and commenting. It is almost an overwhelming amount of content, which is rather bothersome. As a social network user I prefer social media that streamlines only one form of content, such as photos.
Twitter has always been my social network of choice since it removes the rather uninteresting clutter that Facebook provides. By removing the assortment of different content, Twitter appears more organized and readable. Twitter's layout is very inviting, and promotes the users to get engaged in conversations through the use of hashtags and trending topics.
Instagram has a very similar feel to Twitter. The content is presented in an organized fashion, and strictly limits users to posting photos and photos only. Instagram has a simple layout, and does not have too many features. Personally I believe, the simplicity of Instagram is the reason why it has been successful and has a significant portion of social media users.
Vine
Vine still needs improvements to its layout and features. For example, when I tried to like a video by "double tapping", it caused the video to pause for a split second prior to registering the like. Vine does have an artistic feel to it as it appears that many users like to loop videos and post videos of breathtaking views. My initial impression was that vine users should post videos that loop well, such as the Niagara Falls.
