So yes I do it, like it, but I'm just not very good at it... lol

I love love love how you said this. Because as true as I'm sitting here, if there were no computers, I've likely be classified as a hermit. I'm not sure that I'm a misanthrope, I'm just painfully shy (most don't know this about me at all because I don't present that way)

I cracked up at Diva's post, 'cause I thought the same thing when I started thinking of all the socializing forums I'm on.

Let's see...
FB - LOVE IT!!!!! Go there lots of times a day. I love that I've connected with all my best friends from elementary school through college on there! And most of my family is on it too.
LiveJournal - I have one friend that posts frequently on there and I go read her stuff. I don't use it.
MySpace - Like D said, "It's Dead", although I do still have my account.
BF - ended that relationship about a week ago.
FetLife - Just learning about it.
Collar Me - seldom go there 'cause I couldn't understand it.
Twitter - Don't understand it at all, so don't have an account.
Here - Learning my way around it.

I love all the updates, and have nothing better to do with my life than live vicariously through my young co-workers.

I am into social networking but am not into alot of sites because I have My few favorites including:

1)Facebook - this is one of My favorite addictions, especially playing games on there (Farm Town, FarmVille, Fish World, FishVille, Mafia Wars etc)

2)BF - I still post there sometimes, but not even close to what I use to

3)BFD - I still go there alot, but not much

4)Myspace - I do have an account there, however I only log in once in awhile to check out things

5)Twitter - I have an account there too, but only log in once in awhile to see whats happening with the people I follow

6)LJ - I am going to be opening an account there soon for blogging, and as My own way of venting when I can't (or don't want certain other people to see it)

7)The Planet - This site is My absolute favorite place, and I plan to stick around here for a LONG time to come

I am extremely leary of social networking sites. I use them everyday, I am also monitored on some of them everyday. If I don't need it or use it, I shut it down.

Many HR companies routinely google names on the internet and social networking site. I prefer the sites, like here at the Planet, where the communtiy is smaller, it doesn't feel like I am so searchable through friends pages and "fan" networking. Be very careful what you put out there.

I love having so much data at my fingertips, but that same data is also available to others.

I worry about the amount of privacy that is given up on these sites.

PI's don't even have to leave thier offices any longer (sorry Itty) -- If you are internet search savvy you can find anything.

If you are internet savvy you know there is a backdoor for almost all of these social sites.

HumV4me · 11-22-2009, 02:21 PM

I've learned to enjoy FB more... I have a MySpace but never go there.

I'm not a Twitterer and other than here... those are all I do.

I FB more because I can update quickly with all my friends and it's easier to check the status of everyone. Plus I like to goof off and mess around with the apps and the gifting.

I don't do any of them for popularity... thats not my thing and I don't compete for things... it's just all down time when it comes to the apps... but how I love to ~~FARKLE~~. LOL

dixie · 11-22-2009, 02:39 PM

here - I absolutely love!!!!
BF - hardly ever go there
BFD - banned ..lol
MySpace - i'm a survey addict
FaceBook - it's really growing on me
Queer-Space - i post occasionally
Twitter - uber boredom to me
FetLife - love it

and a variety of others, but those are my main ones...
