Besides Facebook, I do almost NO social media — which I realize might be hard to believe, but it’s true. I’ve never used Google+, I can’t remember the last time I “Pinned” or “Tweeted” anything, and I don’t use Instagram or any of the other bazillion social media platforms for personal or business purposes.
However, I REALLY like Facebook :)
I love how it allows me to stay connected with tons of family and friends all across the country, as well as old high school and college classmates that I otherwise wouldn’t stay in contact with.
I know some people abuse it (and I’ve definitely blocked and unfriended people due to obnoxious posting) but for the most part, Facebook offers my somewhat introverted self the ability to share my life and be a part of other people’s lives without lengthy phone conversations or in-person meet-ups that are definitely not enjoyable for me with multiple little kids around.
I also use Facebook as my primary resource to stay “current” with many of my favorite blogs. I don’t follow any blogs in any type of “reader” and I only subscribe to 2 or 3 via email. The rest are all followed via Facebook — and yes, I do enjoy browsing through several other blogs in my free time.
