Advantages of Twitter
1. Twitter is a very simple social network because it allows you to be aware of everything that
interests you, such as communities, celebrities or just people who are not famous but who you
know. This is a very important advantage of Twitter.

2. The fact that everything has to be written in 140 characters makes the social network simple
and practical for human thinking.

3. If you have written a tweet and one of your followers like what they see, this can be retweeted
so this tweet is also seen by all the followers of your follower.

4. Another great advantage of Twitter is the structure it has since it is made up of your followers
and the ones you are following.

5. It is possible to combine your Twitter account with your Facebook account so that what you
post on Twitter is also done on the other social network. This is a great advantage to not waste so
much time publishing on both social networks.

6. You can place buttons on the websites to tweet the page and other users can observe and
review the subject.

Disadvantages of Twitter
1. With Twitter you have to summarize everything that is happening to you in 140 characters.
This can generate problems by having to abbreviate everything that happens.

2. Another disadvantage of Twitter is that there is a lot of spam on the network and this is not so
controlled. This also makes the network too fast in terms of number of Tweets and sometimes
the trust of the network is lost.

3. It is very common to see insults from people towards companies.

4. False profiles on Twitter are very common and this can generate distrust in the network.

5. Another big disadvantage of Twitter is that having false profiles, any person can create a
famous account and many people begin to follow when in reality this profile is not of this
celebrity but a random person.
#The Advantages of Facebook
#Facebook for Networking:: Facebook is arguably the most powerful social media and social
networking site out there. You can use Facebook to connect with your family, friends, work
colleagues, and you can even meet new people on Facebook.
#Facebook for Dating::Facebook is also known for finding dates. Indeed, with a social network
powered by over 1 billion active users, it’s easy to find a date that shares common interests and
hobbies.

#Facebook for Business::Facebook is one of the largest sites in the world where we are not only
allowed, but encouraged to connect with everyone.Anyone can take advantage of Facebook to
maintain a good relationship with others who identify with certain tastes or products. This is very
important because as a business, you can sell or promote a product/service to a highly targeted
audience, thus increasing the possibilities of making money on the internet.
#Facebook Video Chatting: Facebook can also be used as video chat tool.Recently, Facebook
implemented the Facebook video chat feature in partnership with Skype. Now you can make
video calls to your friends using Facebook’s inbuilt video chat service.
#Facebook for Image and Video Hosting::You can also use Facebook as a site to host images and
videos. You can set privacy levels for individual albums to control who can see what you share.
#Facebook for News & Information:
The real advantage of Facebook is that it’s a real-time social networking site. This makes it one
of the best sources to stay updated with the latest news and information. Major news usually
goes viral on Facebook, and most brands use it to announce important things regarding their
products/services.

#The Disadvantages of Facebook

#Facebook Privacy:One of the major concerns and disadvantages of Facebook has to do with
Facebook’s privacy.
Private Status Published Publicly Even though Facebook has simplified its privacy settings,
many unknowing users still end up publishing private images and status updates publicly.

#Fake Facebook Profiles:Facebook is full of fake profiles.There is no limit to these profiles.

Most of them are created by stalkers or marketers looking to gain more friends and use it for
their marketing purposes

#Not Using Facebook List Feature::Many users still don’t use the Facebook list feature which is
very helpful to keep your status updates targeted to a specific group of friends (e.g college
friends, office friends, etc.)
#Time-consuming:Of all of Facebook’s disadvantages, I believe this is one of the major reasons
why people deactivate or delete their Facebook profile. Being one of the best ways to stay
updated about what your friends are doing, people spend too much time on this vast social
networking site.

###What's App
WhatsApp the name itself has become the part of day to day life of people all over the world; it
is a messaging platform which helps in sharing messages and videos to your friends and family
members instantly over the internet without any charges. WhatsApp is quite addictive and that is
the reason why it is important to look at the advantages and disadvantages of WhatsApp –

Advantages of WhatsApp::
#Free of Cost::The biggest advantage of WhatsApp is that it is free and there are no other
charges for using it, so one can send or share photos, messages, contacts, videos, make video
calls to anywhere in the world and hence it enables a person to save lot of money which earlier
was spent on SMS and video calling.

#User Friendly:Another big positive of WhatsApp is that it is user-friendly and that is the reason
why it is used by the young generation as well as by the old generation people and that is the
reason why you see even those people on WhatsApp who are not tech savvy. Hence in a way,
this application has made more people connected to the world.

#No Advertisement:When it comes to the internet the most frustrating part of visiting any
website or using any application are the advertisements which make it very annoying for the
user, but when it comes to WhatsApp user does not face such difficulty as at present there are no
advertisements to ruin the experience.

#Disadvantages of WhatsApp::

#Smartphone and the Internet

WhatsApp runs only on smartphone and one needs to have internet connection in order to access
this application which results in it of no use to those people who either do not have a smartphone
or the internet and therefore its use is limited to only to those people who are having both
smartphones as well as the internet.

#Sharing of Wrong News and Information::Another big drawback of this application is that some
people consider all news and information shared on WhatsApp to be true which is not the case as
all things shared are not true which ultimately lead to problems especially during sensitive
periods like riots, elections, religious functions and so on. Hence in a way, this application helps
mischievous people in creating panic and chaos leading to law and order problem in the country
which in turn create inconvenience for the people as well as the government of the country.

#Privacy Issue::Another big problem with this application is that anyone can see the profile
picture which results in loss of privacy besides anyone can add you to the group which can be
annoying as sometimes people add you to the group again even if you have left that group
before.
