gardening momma Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I use Facebook and Pinterest, but I don't consider Pinterest to be social media (and therefore didn't vote for it). I just use it for bookmarking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I facebook but I vacillate over it because it sometimes seems like a GIANT waste of time and energy. I am always considering leaving and have a couple of times then someone will say, "did you see the baby's photos on facebook?" and I cannot resist. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um_2_4 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Only pinterest to keep track of stuff I might find useful (I'm working on making my own curriculum for my 2nd language for PreK). Can't stand the rest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That's interesting because Pinterest is one of the few I won't do, because of the copyright implications. http://ddkportraits.com/2012/02/why-i-tearfully-deleted-my-pinterest-inspiration-boards/ http://covethercloset.com/delete-pinterest-3-precautions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanSue Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I got off FB and Pinterest last spring. I voted blog because I have two but I haven't posted on them in months. But it is one of my resolutions to write more this year so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you asked what accounts I have I would have checked them all, but facebook is the only one I regularly use. I have a Pinterest account, but like a PP, I use it for bookmarks for myself and don't consider it social media. I have a blog and keep telling myself I'm going to update it and blog regularly. The reality is I probably won't. I also have a twitter account but I only use that when I have to retweet something in order to get swagbucks. I don't even follow anyone else on twitter.

Tap Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I waver on whether or not to click on any of them. I go on Facebook a couple times a year, for 5 minutes or so. I only use it to check in on friends who are having a major life change like having a baby. I only activate my account for the visit and then deactivate it again. Instead of calling them to check in, I will check thier Facebook page once or twice during the life event time frame. I have only posted one time, and don't even do 'likes' or other features. I can't say I "USE" Facebook since I am only on it for maybe 15 minutes a year. I look at images on Pintrest, again for maybe 15 minutes in the past year. I don't have an account and I don't 'pin'.

redheadmom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Since I have my own business, I use all of them plus others that leverage or integrate them. Honestly, I use them because I have too to stay competitive with marketing. There are some I wouldn't use if it were just for personal use.

mazakaal Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I use facebook (read almost every day, post a couple of times a week at most), but I'm not the least bit interested in twitter. I'm refusing to go to pinterest because I'm sure it will just give me lots of wonderful ideas that I'll never get around to doing. I occasionally toy with the idea of doing a blog, but have never gone to the trouble to get one started and probably never will bother. I spend most of my online-time here, the news and facebook. That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 That's interesting because Pinterest is one of the few I won't do, because of the copyright implications. http://ddkportraits....iration-boards/ http://covetherclose...-3-precautions/ Pinterest is for bookmarking with pictures & text rather than just text alone. For some things, people can figure out how to do something by the picture alone. Since Pinterest shares my pins with everyone in the universe, it's their problem if someone uses it without actually going to the original website that I pinned/repinned. On the one hand, I can see why Pinterest does that. On the other hand, if I don't like it, I can use secret boards, something that Pinterest recently introduced. I believe you can now have 5 (?) secret boards, so other people will not see your pins. I don't know if there's a limit to how many pins a board can hold, a couple hundred, at least. I use it for bookmarking--I always check to see if the pin goes all the way through to the original site so I can get the rest of the story or the info I need. Often there are broken links, or someone only pinned the actual image link, not the site link. I don't agree that I have to own the content of the site/picture/pin in order to pin it. I don't have to own it if I bookmark it with my internet browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
