I feel Facebook is slightly sinister, so I have an irrational personal fear of it. I don't feel I'm really using these services to get the most out of them. I have accounts in the services but for Facebook I use my real name and all of my friends are people I've known through work. I like to separate work from my family and friends and I don't think Facebook makes its controls very easy to understand and control. Especially with the Facebook app compared to the website. I feel like stopping from using them and then starting again but am worried someone will steal my identity.
I have more or less leaned back into the idea that my information is ALL online somewhere. I use Facebook to keep up with people I don't see often (or some I've never meet IRL), but my close friends and family are on there too and can be very amusing.
ReplyDeleteI use Twitter to keep up with real time news. And for the jokes. Some people are extraordinarily clever and their twitter feeds brighten a dull day.
LB: I guess with FB I don't think my comings and goings are interesting enough to post! Maybe I need to give it more of a go? With Twitter I know what you mean but I find it difficult to find the time to check it everyday. Again, probably needs a more focused effort on my part
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have FB I'd lose contact with a lot of people I am unable to see in person.
ReplyDeleteFB can get too much, though, and I have to step away from it.
Tweets are too short, it's true. I don't like Twitter.
