    I do social networks
    Use them for news, silly things, keeping up with folks, and cute pics.
    My tumblr has a lot of corgis.
    I don't post much on fb, but I do check it regularly.
    Tweeting all the toots.
    When I was really bored at work, I got into pinterest. Only made a cute board though.

    Never not on facebook chat
    Too lazy to use dedicated chat clients

    I do all the time.

    Way easier than trying to get AIM to agree work anymore.

    Besides no one else I know uses it.

    If you have a Mac check out Hibari as a Twitter client. I hear good things about it. Like, you can mute or ignore any tweet that includes X phrase or is posted by Y service.

    I used to chat in the SE chat all of the time but it seems like every time I go in there now it's Teefs and a few others talking politics and racism and blurgh.

    I think I liked one of my comments on Facebook once. Mainly because I saw the button next to it and didn't believe it would actually work.

    Also also if you use Chrome I highly recommend installing the Cortex extension. Great for sharing to FB, Tumblr, and Twitter. You can even set it up so you can post to specific people's FB walls if you wanna share something with them.

    i remember when everyone was still using IM clients all the time
    and facebook chat was just being integrated
    we were all "haha man who will even use this"

    it's pretty much how everyone gets in touch with each other now. No minutes on your phone? it's dead? no phone at all? boom
    i am on facebook all the goddamn time it is an addiction

    it's really uncomfortable when people from two different spheres of your life have a disagreement on your Facebook

    See, I love this. I have some people that post idiotic nonsense and I like not having to be the one who calls them on it all the time.

    I don't tweet or...face (?) but I do like reading twitter a bunch whereas I think facebook's whole milieu is kind of gross

    Do you facers in here feel pressured to keep up with facebook and maintain it and whatnot?

    i was thinking earlier today about how i'm going to switch MD's comment system (sorry about constantly talking about this but it is taking up literally all of my time) from disqus to facebook, just because facebook is so pervasive in its integration that people will be less likely to make alt accounts because it'll log them out of everything

    Not really. I just usually post really inane bullshit to my wall and chat with my friends through the sidebar thing.

    Real-life tensions between friends from different friend circles are pretty awkward, too

    If it wasn't for social networking and this site I wouldn't have the 11 people who read my blog when I bother to update it!

    I fucking hate "if you're brave, you'll repost this bullshit picture I found." So many fuckers do this shit.

    And re. this whole page, yeeeesh, yeah, I pretty much have no one posting any of those kinds of things on their walls

    I know right. Sometimes I wonder how anyone could hate Facebook so vehemently, then I see stuff like this and it makes more sense.

    I basically treat my wall like I imagine most people do twitter.

    nope! I hardly post anything except pictures (and then only if I know people would like to see them - mostly because they are in them, usually)

    All my friends are nerds and pretty chill.

    I need to go through my FB friends and do a cull. Bunch of people I went to middle and high school with that I never see, don't particularly care about that I could remove without remorse.

    Like I said earlier, it's the only reason I haven't deleted Facebook entirely. My wife doesn't use any IM and she gets on Facebook pretty frequently so if I want to chat with her online that's how.

    Aw I like disqus. Though yeah, FB in theory leads to less stupid shit because by linking to FB accounts they may feel some level of accountability.

    How about friends or relatives who seem very pressured to maintain/keep up with faces? Y'all got any of that?

    disqus' moderation tools are pretty shitty too

    I do have a now former coworker who I friended the other day and his wife does semi professional photography and she tags him in everything she posts so it shows up in my news feed. Need to mute those.
