rosie Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have it but wouldn't say I use it!!!! I don't really understand how to use it really, which is odd seeing as I am glued to Facebook 24/7!!!! Love from Rosie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minesweeper Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not for me - is it really necessary? I guess it is a waste of valuable time - unless someone can convince me differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 None of 'em...far as I'm concerned waste of time, got far more interesting things to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Jack, You need a box for people like Degsy and myself, who do not use any of them, that way you will get a better idea of who does go on those sites in a percentage term against those who do not participate. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You need a box for people like Degsy and myself, Room for a little one in your box Richard? I don't use any of that stuff either. As it is I struggle to keep up with emails that generally have a high technical/research content that take up a lot of time. It might be different if I was stuck in a hospital bed or something with time on my hands. Although retired I find I just don't have enough time to do real things. I'll shortly be out in the sheds working on the Shorland again. I have just come in for food & a warm up, then back in at midnight I expect.

croc Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I use Facebook, I did venture onto bebo and myspace but I suspect the virtual cobwebs will have taken over by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Frankly, and no disrespect to those who do use it, but 9/10ths of what is on the so called social media is pure drivel. I watch my employees twitch every time a new message arrives in on their phone / crackberries and watch the loss of the work day for absolute &^%$&*. I work darn hard and have little time to myself and my partner as it is. I have real friends with whom I talk to in person and meet and you fine people here and on MLU. Frankly I would find all the nonsense overwhelming and end up pitching the blackberry, that is actually useful, and becoming a hermit under a rock. So many of the members of the younger (my father is likely rolling in his grave listening to me go on) generations behind us fail miserably at basic human interaction skills and I see it everyday at work. Sorry to rant but that is how I see it. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croc Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It depends how and what you use it for. I have alot of friends from freestyle skiing spread round the globe so it is a good way to keep in touch. The local steam engine club have a page for news and rally information. After the Great Dorset Steam Fair last year we set up a Diesel Heavy Haulage group, as a private group for those in the section to keep in touch the rest of the year. Phoning people is fine, but you can only speak to one person at a time. I agree, there is alot of drivel, but you don't have to read it.

Minesweeper Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think that your opening question, Jack, was specifying just "Twitter" - have we strayed away from your specific question? I cannot help but thinking that there is a bit of a difference between "Twitter" and "HMVF"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
