If Only I Could Clone My Personality:

What draws your attention:

When joining a social network, many may have their different reasons for doing so. It can be to learn something, have a sense of belonging, to share ideas or what’s going on in your life, or even to network. These are all accurate reasons, but it is known to believe that the top reason why people join a social network is for our own identity (Hurt, 2011). Joining gives us the opportunity to share and show who we are. In this same aspect, it opens the door for us to meet and connect with those who share the same interest as we do.
How we can benefit from each other:

After joining a social network, we share our identity/who we are to whomever has access to our profile/page. This leads likeminded people to us. Giving them the opportunity to see how much alike you can be with someone who lives miles away, in a different state or country, or even right next door. Social network is a platform where you can go to freely express yourself. Instagram alone has been used to communicate with others through images (Hendricks, 2014). They even have a search button where one can type in a topic and see who has posted about it and can follow their page and connect with them.
Knot On My Roots:

When I joined Instagram years ago, I created an account for my natural hair journey. I posted pictures of my journey and encouraged others to tag me in theirs. With their permission, I posted their pictures and tagged them in it for others to see and be inspired by. Though I don’t use that account anymore, liking certain pictures and following other natural hair people filled my newsfeed with just that, pictures of people and their natural hair. Instagram gathered what my interest was by the people I followed and the types of pictures I liked and created a suggestion list of people I should follow that shared my same interest.
