    Very rarely use Facebook apart from when i'm talking in the group chat i'm in with my mates.

    Twitter i'm on everyday, it's the best form of social media going.

    I was reading this thinking it was the vvd thread and thought by * this has went off topic :56:

    Just twitter for me these days, there is something unhealthy about Facebook I think.

    I do like Twitter but something that really annoys me is the way a lot of folk think they are on-the-scene news reporters. I do appreciate this facet of it, getting the news to the people, when it happens, as it happens, but it's the way a lot of people do it that irks me. It's hard to convey what I'm getting at I guess but one day you'll see something and you'll know what I was trying to say.

    Please then feel free to articulate this better than me.

    I've never really been interested in social media. Had fb account years ago (just when it became popular amoungst my mates and got nagged to join) but never posted on. If i want to contact mates I'll pick up a phone (rarely txt too) and if I want to talk to family it's skype. Never joined Twitter when it first became popular either so I feel like I miss out on a lot of things regarding that, but feel if I join now it'll take me forever to get up to speed so can't be arsed lol.

    Plus this is the first forum I've ever joined

    twitter is great for keeping up to date and interacting with famous people/public figures.

    reddit is ok. Really like a couple of subreddits but most of them are filled with 12 year olds and arseholes.

    It has it's pros and cons, lately i have found it to cause more problems than good though, mostly facebook. I had a facebook, but deactivated it as i rarely posted on it and the people i wanted to contact on it i had their number so just whatsapp them. I had a twitter aswell but i had no idea how to use it so chucked it lol.

    I've only ever had a myspace (just a music page) and a bebo. Though bebo was quite fun. Especially drawing stuff on folks whiteboards :smiley-laughing002:

    Never made the mass migration to facebook though. Now i don't use anything except the old telephone and vocal cords.

    Twitter. Iv never "tweeted" but it lets me know all the news about celtic before anyother sites.

    Actually never tweeted is a lie. I tweeted EE the other day to ask where my 3G has gone for that day.. they replied explaining 7 masts were down and it was now back up.. and it was. Impressed :56:

    I had a Facebook page but I deactivated it after a while, only go onto Reddit now. By far the best site about.

    I've never used Twitter and none of my mates do so I doubt I ever will.

    Facebook is well...Facebook. Only really good now as a way to contact people on your friends list since so much * gets posted.

    Twitter is good for keeping up to date with things and other interesting stuff. People on Twitter seem to think their opinions and thoughts matter more than they actually do though.

    Instagram has some interesting stuff but it's also inhabited with the self-obsessed arseholes who just put up pictures of themselves and their lives which they think everyone cares about.

    Reddit's a great place for any random * you can think of or want to talk about and you can have a good discussion there, but then there's "circlejerking" and the fact it's populated by some of the biggest * on the internet.

    And if you use Snapchat you're probably a worthless human being. Sorry.

    Positives and negatives to everything...

    A site with every topic imaginable, everything from tv shows, football to * :smiley-laughing002: It has pretty much anything you could want to find online, it takes a good bit of getting used to but when you do it's incredible.
