Do you like social media? Why or why not? What is your favorite social media to use (FB, twitter, GR, etc.)?
I didn't even know what social media was until my middle school students told me I needed to get a MySpace page. My friends has them, but I had no desire to have something else to do. Then I realized how addicting it could be. Not only could I connect to family I hadn't seen in years, I could play games! I loved Sorority Wars.
Actually, the only reason I got my Facebook page in the first place was so I could be my mom's neighbor on Farmville, lol! The gaming has fallen to the wayside and I now use FB for networking.
Currently, I have a personal Facebook page and am working on a page for this blog. I think my MySpace page is still up, but I haven't touched it in years. I finally have a Twitter account and use it to promote my blog, authors, books, contests, etc... But I don't really keep up with Twitter like I do Facebook - it moves to quickly.
Goodreads is an interesting one. I only made an account because I could semi-organize what I have and have not read and get new ideas of what to read next. I had no idea what kind of drama that could ensue. I stay away from all of it! I am a member of a few groups, but they are uplifting, promotional groups and the second I see anything otherwise I am out.
The Breakdown: I like the idea of social media and have benefited from the opportunities it has given me. I don't like drama in any form and try to stay away from it at all possible.
What do you think about social media?
I totally agree with what you are saying. Drama is just no good at all! I stay out of it all too, I don't want to be involved, lol.
ReplyDeleteI never had a Myspace page but I do like FB because you can see people you normally wouldn't get to. :)
I feel like you about Twitter, it really does move quickly and I can't keep up, lol.
Thanks for joining this week!!!
