    Do you use any social media websites, such as Twitter or Facebook? Which do you prefer and how long are you on them per day/week? Have any of you guys used MySpace when it was still "in" many years ago? What reasons do you have for using them? Maybe you're hoping to stay in touch with friends or family or as just a way to pour out your thoughts.

    I personally use Twitter but even then it's not often - writing tweets is a once-a-week thing nowadays. Facebook has never been my thing outside of Facebook-linked games on a phone as it's the best way to keep your data safe on the occasion that something happens to your device.

    I always have a Facebook tab opened on my computer. It's not like I actually use it all the time, but it's always useful when I need it. Of course I also have Skype, although I don't know if that counts as a social medium. I also know that I have a Twitter account, but I never did anything with it. I just never saw the appeal to it xD

    I use facebook, not too much though. I don't see the point in twitter, so I don't have that. Last I have Skype, which I actually use quite a lot :)

    Other than that I actually use LakeValor as a social media xD I come here everyday to check on it and I use it a lot for socializing (until oostfest starts at least xD)

    I use tumblr, instagram, and facebook. Tumblr is just for fun as it has such diverse content, instagram just because? and Facebook to contact my friends and family. I personally use facebook the most with it always in the background, so I'm pretty much on their as much as I am here.

    I used to regularly use MySpace and then Facebook. I got off of MySpace as activity on my profile declined to the point that nobody even cared anymore, and as for Facebook, later on I deactivated then reactivated my account a few times before deleting my account altogether-I got sick of the drama coming from some on my friends list on FB, and I also got sick of everybody sending me game requests-they kept doing it despite me posting a status update telling everybody to stop sending me requests.
    I had a Twitter briefly, but I got rid of even that, as my email address I used to register it got compromised.

    LV is my social media :)
    But yeah, I use Twitter, not to actually post things, but to take a look at stuff on the homepage.

    The only social media I have is tumblr... I spend more or less time on it depending where I'm at, since depending on connection it takes longer to load and slows down everything else.

    I have Twitter, but I haven't been posting on it that much recently, although I still check it regularly.

    As for Facebook, I do have some of the people I know in real life friended, but i'm not that active in it nowadays. I try to check others' status updates, though.

    Yup. I use Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube and that's about it. All are good in their own right but Facebook kinda...sucks. Not a fan of it at all, really. Twitter falls in that category of lameness too.

    I avoid almost all social media like the plague. The only ones I'll bother touching are Imgur, Tumblr, and LinkedIn. Imgur I use primarily for image uploading and for brief entertainment (I only lurk and occasionally favorite or upvote images). Tumblr I use to search for gifs or icons or fanart; I have an account but haven't updated it in ages. LinkedIn I use because it's professional and, according to some, good social media to use when looking for jobs or meeting people in the same profession as you.

    I have a Facebook for school, but I don't really use it for anything, so social media is just kinda... there for me, I guess?

    Facebook:
    I recently deleted my facebook, as it had a lot of bad memories attached and logging on just meant seeing people being dumb or passive-aggressive haha. And anyways, anyone I wanted to get into contact with was either on skype, or I had their phone number. I will probably remake a Facebook account at some point, and be a bit more careful with who I add.

    Twitter:
    I have a twitter, but only to follow others (mostly YouTubers) if I care about what they have to say. It's fun watching my favorite YouTubers tweet hehe.

    Tumblr:
    Does Tumblr count? I'll go on tumblr occasionally, but only to laugh and look at beautiful things. I don't really interact with anyone, so I guess it doesn't count as social media for me.

    YouTube:
    Also a place I come to be entertained. I don't really use it as social media.

    Anything else I probably don't use very much or at all.

    I use Facebook daily, but only to scroll down my newsfeed and "like" stuff. I don't post as much as I used to a few years back. Oh, and to message people sometimes.
    I also check Instagram daily, but I do the same with it as I do with facebook.
    I also use Snapchat and Kik if you count those.
