There is so much additional functionality baked into the software. For example, if you allow people to put their location in their profiles, when you click on the location it takes you to Google maps of their city
As I mentioned there is support for animated GIF's. My personal favorite is the ability to drag and drop images from the desktop directly into your posts.
Also... it auto-saves drafts of your posts, so if you accidentally close a window or leave the site, when you return your draft is there waiting for you
And there is support for emoticons! 😄🤩😏
