Do you use social media? Nowadays every second person in the world uses facebook or instagram. Are you one of them?

I have a facebook account but I used it only for entering sweepstakes.  I don't enter anymore but the account is still open.
I never communicated with friends or family through it and I do not have any of the other social media accounts.

Every second person? What does that mean?  One out of two maybe?  You are wrong.  Most people in the world do not have Facebook and def do not have Instagram.

I use Facebook to keep in touch with family out of state and my one girlfriend who lives in Greece.

I used to be on Facebook but have come to dislike it.  Too much fake information on it and too much drama.
Have a wonderful day!

I have used Facebook for many years with one account for family and friends and another for the make money online crowd. I am going to be using it more now that thanks to a Fusioncash Survey I learned about Facebook Watch. I watched a video about Shaq starting his new restaurant in Las Vegas (Big Chicken) and got to meet his mother. It was very entertaining in my opinion and I will be adding this channel to my Smart TV.

Nope. Quit Facebook for the second time and this time for good. I swear social media is the perfect medium with to filter out who people really are on the inside and from what I've seen, a lot of them are pretty crappy to their very core.

Yes, I am on Facebook and Instagram, but only to keep in contact with friends back home and college friends, to see pictures of my grands.

Maybe I am. But I just know some facts that instagram is used by 1,5b and facebook by 1,5b either. Quite big influence as for me, don't you think so?

Not anymore. I quit FB a few years ago, and I created an IG account a long time ago but never used it. I couldn't stand all the drama and the politics. Good luck expressing a different opinion than someone else; they'll send out a lynch mob. Everyone has lost their minds.  ::)

I only do FB to stay in touch with a handful of friends...mostly do FB because I'm on 2 F150 groups on there...one group already saved me $200 repair bill on my truck.

Told me what they thought it was....$35 part and 15 minutes later was done....Ford stealership tried to charge me $200 plus the part.... ::)

No, I rarely use any social media, other than YouTube. I guess it's because I come from a generation where people are more private about what goes on in their lives. i have no interest in showing everybody what I ordered in a restaurant, and I have no interest in knowing what somebody ordered qt a restaurant. But like I said, people of my generation tend to play things a little closer to the vest than younger people today. Not right, not wrong, it just is.  :peace:

Great idea. I didn't know Facebook had those kind of helpful groups. Thanks for sharing.

I use social media....don't do too much but keep track of friends, news, and other happenings within reason. I try not to get caught up in the drama with it.
