Which do you use the most - and which do you prefer? Not necessarily the same question! Personally speaking, I only really have time to use Facebook, despite my reservations about the organisation and their privacy issues. I know that you can get Apps which publicise your thoughts on multiple social networking platforms, but I don't like the lack of control that gives you either. How about you? |

Good one Bev! I use Facebook, but I have to say I love Twitter. I don't see it as a social network as such, but even so, it can be more social than Facebook. Twitter allows conversation and interaction without getting TOO close unless you want to. You can keep people at arm's length until you trust them, similar to how you can with message boards. The arm's-length nature of Twitter also makes it easier and safer for people to reply to you where they probably wouldn't in other media - musicians, politicians, journalists, etc. I have a policy of only adding people on Facebook who I have had at least some personal contact with, even if it's only email. I'm not into friend collecting. You don't have to "un-friend" people who you don't know if you don't add them in the first place. I still have a MySpace - never go there. Not because I've followed the herd, but Facebook is a lot better than it used to me. It doesn't shit me up the wall any more. I find it a drag that every site tries to turn itself into a social network when that isn't what it's for, like Flickr, Google Buzz and Ping. If you can find me on Facebook, you're welcome to add me. If you can't find me, well, what can I say? Follow me on Twitter @Billablog |

I guess I should have said forums(answered none)...although I haven't been here in ages. I don't do all that social networking stuff. If my high school friends had wanted to find me....or I, them...it would have already happened. Why do I need FB for that? A lot of it does just seem like a popularity contest & I'm not into that. |

I don't like social networks. I tried them. Not to my liking. Maybe I'm old-school but I prefer forums and also I'm sick of seeing Facebook like buttons all over the freaking internet. Or needing a Facebook account to login to certain places... When I see that I run. |

My prefer social networking is Strawberry Fields ~ of course. I like FB because it's much easier to keep up with friends from grade and high school and family members. Once in awhile I'll go to Paul McCartney.com., especially during concert time in our city. Edited by Queenbee, Jun 21 2011, 05:46 PM.

Does nowt for me. The circles idea is useless and everything else about it is like a lame facebook. I suppose I'd like it a little more if it wasn't tied to your Google account. My Gmail has always been my private email and I don't like the idea of it being connected to any kind of social network. I felt the same way about Buzz, which all gmail users were opted into without being asked. The first thing Google+ asked me was if I wanted to share my Picasa albums. I would never have used them at all if I thought there was any chance of them becoming part of a social site. Then when I tried plus on my 'phone, I was taken to a page that said "Clicking this accepts that Google will access your location." Um... NYET! There are lots of privacy concerns surrounding Facebook, but it's positively anonymous compared to Google+. My policy is that forums and Twitter are for everyone, Facebook is for people I know, but my Gmail is for people I know and trust. I may live to eat these words, but I won't be using plus. |

Yeah, I like having control over my privacy too. I'm constantly double checking my facebook settings, because they love changing them without notice. |

Thanks for the infos. That definitely sounds a bit iffy to me, privacy-wise. I tend to use facebook only for people I know in the real life (with very few exceptions), so I guess I'll keep doing that for now. |
