Flexh Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I was sitting in an exam the other week and it dawned on me how much social networking is used in modern society, For example when i first joined this site i never heard the word Facebook in a lesson and Instagram didn't even exist. Another thing which is widely used now is hash tags "#", how this managed to become popular i really don't know but never the less it does and it seems to be everywhere even when you look on a billboard in the street it has a hashtag on the advert. What do you guys think about the progression of social networking? And have you ever used a hashtag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorSempra Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 RIght now, social networking is my job. Facebook, Twitter, Google+. Granted, I do it for marketing, but nonetheless, at leas tin the case of hashtags, it's very useful. It gives you a much broader spectrum to spread your business over, and hashtags help create a marketing "niche" for you, just to keep discussions and posts linked to the same general topic.

Cin Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Only Facebook here. I go on there because I'm bored alot of time and some of my likes post some awesome Pokemon pictures. Although I have visited the twitter pages of some of the Dragonfable team to see their progress on certain NPCs/Quests/Locations/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ニンフィア Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I don't like how some girls do the Psyduck face on Facebook and Instagram. Or when guys try to pose like Machoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't really understand the whole point of it, it only gives you a small bit of giggles and it makes you look unattractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I use Facebook. Mostly just to Like memes or to ask my friends about homework or events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have Facebook, Twitter (pretty much for getting an award for following YCMaker back around 2009-2010; forget when that happened) and MySpace (yes I actually have one). That being said, I only use FB nowadays (forgot Twitter pass and MySpace, I don't know) Â In terms of using FB, I use it to check up on my friends and updates on XY/some Pokemon game I play online away from this site. As for hashtags, I only use them for accessing chat channels for said game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I tried getting into Twitter, but I wasn't feeling it at all. The interface was a little off-putting for me. Instagram's a no-go as well because I don't really take photos that often, nor do many of my friends. I just lurk on Facebook nowadays. I really need to sit down and unlike all these pages that are spamming my newsfeed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Facebook: That's really the only major Social Network I use, and only to make snarky replies to photos or see what my family is up to. Â Twitter: I rarely tweet, and when I do, it's usually only for WWE Social while I'm watching it. Â Myspace: Remember when that used to be a thing before Facebook? I remember some friends having a page with music playing in the background, but I never considered making one. Now it's just something that Facebook outdated to me. Â Tumblr: It was fun for a while, but now I never use it. Â - Â In a nutshell: Social Networking is completely pointless, but I use it occasionally when I'm bored.

EPTinYugi Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Facebook; had it for 4 years, I tried to resist to use it until my friend said he could get a download link of Team Fortress 2. Twitter is something, I feel, should be used by ppl with something interesting to say or is famous, I'm not either and even if I was famous, never will use it. Tumbler is something I could do but I don't have use for it. I didn't know of Myspace till I was in middle school and even then I didn't use it.  Facebook is all I need right now.

vla1ne Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I Don't remember how to shut down my Facebook, and I never really use it anyways. I do have an active Skype and a Youtube though... If that even counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverweed91 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Never used: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. etc. I really don't find them useful...tried Google+ once, but it's crap and getting crappier and crappier, so I dismissed it. The only "social network" I'm currently on is Youtube (which is getting crappier as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
