Your funny Steve-O.  This guy uses Facebook to direct sales to his ebay store to the tune of 6 digit a year.

I know one member who uses pintress.  He seems to like it.  Facebook has too much visual clutter.  I can follow what is going on.  I would need Facebook light.

I am on Instagram. Lots of inspiring projects. I have been meaning to set up a Facebook just because I am so out of the loop with my friends and family. "Levesquetech" on Instagram

I'm on facebook to post pictures of my kids for all the older people in my family so I don't have to send them out in emails, and to make sarcastic remarks to my friends' posts.

I'm on sohc4.net because I like old Hondas and making sarcastic remarks to people from all over the world that I've never met.

Funny!  This is good stuff.  Keep the post rolling.  It is very interesting to know which social media outlets people are using. 

If anyone knows how I can insert a survey in the main post shoot me a PM.  It would be cool to get some numbers together.

Ha!  So true, thing is she doesnt have a fb page but saw a pic of her with mutual HS friends.

Of course, I could say it is the blonde here, click on the link.

It's on the internet, so it must be true!

FB, Twitter, BlogSpot, LinkedIn, here, Honda Twins, dedicated website (www.goodcitizen.com).  The only one I visit regularly is here & twins - the rest are for band promotions.  And I leave it up to the other members for the most part to keep it lively.  That doesn't always work tho . . . it's my band.  I, by nature, am lazy.

LinkedIn is for when I need to find a new job cuz they find me spending all my time here.

Me too!  What do you Tweet.  Just don't understand where Twitter fits into the whole thing.  Do people really want a play by play update?  How do you use Twitter?

I use twitter mostly as an ad for gigs "Hey! we're playing blah blah blah" - but on occasion I just get a random thought or idea or opinion and keep it terse, throw it out, see if anyone feels the same way.  However, because I think twitter is just plain weird (do we really need to know RIGHT now what you're thinking?) - as a paean, my first three tweets were - I quote - "I just had a ham sandwich!"  "I just had another ham sandwich!"  "I can't believe how much I like ham sandwiches!"  Which garnered zero followers and as many responses.  But worth a shot.

So I log onto Facebook after a 4 year hiatus, and what do I see people posting non-sense.  I don't get it.  It is either pictures of dogs, cats, or some inspirational picture.  I just don't get it. None of it seems relevant to me at all just a bunch of people posting superficial stuff or arguing about politics.

I think I will check out some of your guys pintress and Instagrams.  I see how this could work for the computer consultant I talked to, but no idea how it helps to promote specialized stuff like selling vintage motorcycle parts.  Maybe someone can explain the mechanics of why this works for https://www.facebook.com/Vintage-King-Motor-Sports-160259670844541/?

I just don't get it?

Instagram is really good lately. Honestly my Facebook is just used for family and following shops/events around the world.

Part of the social media.  There are PR agencies paying staffers to form and push opinions on the social media.  How do I know?  Three of my former colleagues work for a company like that in DC.

Very interesting.  I would like to know who is paying them?  What kinds of opinions do they push?

TSU gives 90% of the profits back to the content creators, but they are invite only.  Pretty interesting.
