Twitter is a instant message service that allows members to post a comment (limited characters up to 140) on their personal thoughts. These comments are referred to as a tweet. The name Twitter comes from the idea that these short comments are similar to the chirping of birds. People around the globe can choose to follow other members on Twitter for example celebrities.
MySpace
My space was created in 2004, initially designed to be a storage site for a group of employees that worked for another website company but later become a public social networking tool. Some of the first people to utilize MySpace was musicians who posted performance dates to inform their fans. They also streamed their music through their profile page which could be downloaded by fans in mp3 files for free. This attracted more people to sign up all around the world.
Why people choose to contribute to each of these social networking sites?
People sign up to social networking sites to catch up with friends/families, make new friends, join groups of similar interest where you can post a question, thought or opinion, upload and share photos (Facebook and MySpace).
