Maybe that's the advantage of Twitter.

I still have my Twitter acct that I've had ever since their first year of operation but deleted my Instagram acct when I heard that they were purchased by FB. Never had a Pinterest acct. Can't figure out the value of the service.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-59006855355597596332015-10-29T11:35:50.268-08:002015-10-29T11:35:50.268-08:00I'm there but I'm not posting much.

I don't use it to share pictures of cats however - I do have some sense of social responsibility. :)Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-16872307785591462242015-10-29T09:47:38.240-08:002015-10-29T09:47:38.240-08:00Welcome to Facebook, or as we like to call it &qu...Welcome to Facebook, or as we like to call it "waste book". A waste of our time but at the same time it allows us to keep in touch with friends and family. Without it we wouldn't get most news either it seems.<br /><br />Of course we don't have twitter, instagram, pinterest or any of the other accounts.

I know some where it is the only way. Others don't want anything to do with the service. If you look at the flow of $$, who do they consider their clients? I think that the users of the service including their information and relationships are their product.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-78149442917870692022015-10-29T09:36:19.574-08:002015-10-29T09:36:19.574-08:00Not too bad but they keep adding pieces maybe tryi...Not too bad but they keep adding pieces maybe trying to figure out how to monetize the service. If they charged for the service then their numbers would be a fraction of what they are today.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-47148311832385723372015-10-28T18:34:27.103-08:002015-10-28T18:34:27.103-08:00Hi Richard,

I still use it for that and now many of my bicycle friends are there as well. I haven't blogged since the tour, but I posted to both for a while, or posted links. There are some things I don't like about FB, but it's a convenient way to connect with others. We have a lot of nieces and nephews starting new families and so, lots of baby pics to be shared. I have twitter, instagram, and a couple others, but don't really use them.<br /><br />I figure anything I put online takes the chance of being stolen. I try to keep the pics small and low res, and hope for the best, but it's one of those risks that's hard to avoid.Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-61208375180527800062015-10-28T18:30:58.841-08:002015-10-28T18:30:58.841-08:00Welcome to the big time suck that is FB....still, ...Welcome to the big time suck that is FB....still, not a bad way to reconnect with people.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-10923030499321220022015-10-28T17:57:50.130-08:002015-10-28T17:57:50.130-08:00I guess that I now have a little more time to expl...I guess that I now have a little more time to explore the different parts and pieces that make up FB and see how they work (or don't!). I've had the account for a couple of years but just logged in about every for months or so. I figured that that action may qualify as "activity".RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-30116408178798247832015-10-28T17:48:49.509-08:002015-10-28T17:48:49.509-08:00Richard, I totally understand.
