Social Media Explained


I recently came across a chart which explains the primary ways various social media sites are being used today.  I don’t know who the author was, but it certainly made me chuckle as I read through it.

The basis of the comparison is a simple glazed donut.  It could be anything, but a donut fits well.  Here we go:

Facebook: I love donuts

Google+: I’m a Google developer… who likes donuts…

FourSquare: I’ve checked in @ Joe’s Donuts…

Instagram: Here’s a vintage pic of the donuts I'm about to eat…

Twitter: I’m eating a glazed #donuts right now…

YouTube: Watch me eat my donut…

Pinterest:  Here’s a recipe for my favorite donuts which I just ate…

Pandora: This group of songs about donuts will be folloed by 2 minutes of ads about donuts…

LinkedIn: One of my top professional skills is eating donuts at conferences…
