Social Media

There are tons of ways to keep up with friends and family these days. So many, in fact that the telephone seems to slipping off of my to-do list more and more (love that!) Letter writing has fallen by the wayside altogether.

I am wondering what types of social media you engage in.

This is all pretty new to me. Last year or so, my high school buddy "sent" me an email asking me to join Facebook. I was already using Classmates.com, but found it (and still do) to be annoying and cumbersome. I like something that is easy to use...and free. (does that make me cheap and easy? Don't tell Superman! He's still cool with the high maintenance thing. LOL)

I joined Facebook, against the advice of many people who warned me I would be stalked by exes. I have yet to be stalked that I know of (hi guys!)

Well, nowadays I am blogging more and reading more blogs... I am meeting so many people and the world is really opening up, ya know? It's just amazing to me what goes on right under our noses and we have no idea! So, I reluctantly joined Twitter. Last week. I know, I am slow. But really, it's very easy and it does not feel like an obligation as I had feared. So now that twitter isn't so scary anymore, I am thinking about some of these other things I see everywhere:


DIGG
*
Stumble Upon
*
Kirtsy
*
Delicious
*
*

I don't know much about any of them.


And since you all are so fabulous and talented, I put the question to you: 
What social media are you using.Which do you like most?

Here's my twitter since I still haven't gotten around to putting up a button on the bar (Blogger and I are fighting)

I use Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Kirtsy, and StumbleUpon. I don't use them all at 100% of their capabilities, but those are the ones I prefer.

I have never heard of those others, do tell. But I use FB, Blogger, and Twitter. I am new to twitter too, but I think I am already following you ;)

I use facebook some to see what is going on in my local friends lives each day but I love hanging out in the blogging community. I have been so enriched meeting and becoming friends with so many people here. I have yet to venture into twitter. Don't know if I will. :) I have not heard of any of those other ones.

Yes I use Facebook to keep up with friends and family, then the blogging world. It is hard to keep up with many more?

I use Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, MyYearbook, and Blogger. Blogger is my favorite ♥

But I have fun with Twitter and Facebook.

For my blog, I just use blogger and twitter. Need to look into some of these other things.

I use FB and Blogger. I used to be on myspace but that got forgotten for Facebook. I am still in the dinosaur age, having not joined Twitter yet. I found you through Kelly's shout out for your award. Think I'll stick around awhile!

Facebook gets on my nerves. My husband uses it and he lets me know when our kids upload photographs or when there's other news concerning our family. I have twitter and digg on my blog but I don't use them. I like going to stumbleupon now and then to see the pages people have chosen. Quite amazing some of them!

I just joined twitter too and I am now following you!

But, honestly I haven't used it much because I can't imagine people want to know the minutia of my day!

CRAZYMOM said...

I just checked my twitter and I wasn't following some of you (I thought I was!) So if you want me to follow you email me.

It's like: send me a snail mail to let me know you are emailing me. LOL get it! :)

I used to be big on myspace...only because my family and friends were all in there, and beggedme to open an account in 2006. Why not? So I did. I began blogging there but only for my friends. Then, joined facebook because EVERYONE is doing it. It's ok. Many old high school classmates found me (much to my dismay). But I'm loving Blogger! I'm not big on Twitter. I will start following you on twitter.
