    How often do you use social media? What platforms do you use? If you do use it, have you ever encountered any ignorant people while you were on there?

    I have a Facebook and Twitter account, and I rarely use them. I'm sure there are ignorant social media users all over the world, but I haven't personally spoke or got irritated by any of them yet.

    I use social media. The platform I use is Yookos.com. This is an exciting social media where you can discuss almost everything that will, improve, increase, uplift and advance you. You have to check it out for yourself.

    Actually I'm only using Twitter for both stay in touch with my friends and for business purposes.

    I have a Facebook account too but I only use to see what is going with people and perhaps to exchange with them some thoughts or pics.

    However I was social media insane back in 2008, when I joined to all social networking sites that came across. In fact I must have still accounts with a large number of them, but since they are not longer trendy, nor really useful to me, I'm not longer using any of them.

    I use Facebook all.the.time. Daily. Not to post always, but to read/comment/share/look....
    I don't understand twitter.

    Yeah these are the sites that i use for the most part. I like Facebook the best out of all of those platforms. There are so many different things you can do on Facebook.

    I am on Social Media at least 3 or 4 times a week. I don't overdo it, but i try to keep with everything that is going on. I use Facebook and Twitter primarily. I am always trying to get Facebook friends and Twitter followers every day as a goal.

    I rarely use social networks, I used to be addicted to Facebook, but that's no longer the case. Facebook can be so time consuming and addictive, but fortunately I managed to stop using it. I rarely log in now, and if I do... I do it mostly to post important updates.

    I don't really enjoy facebook and I occasionally follow a few on Twitter. I prefer more interactive communities, like here or some writing groups like Bubblews and Squidoo. I am able to blog and post stories as well as interact with a community of people who like to write. Here I can interact with those who share my passion for cars.

    I use twitter almost daily, I think it's so much better than facebook. I've got a facebook account but that's never really used.

    I'm on social media, largely Facebook, all day long, but I have cut back my posting on it dramatically the past 2 years. And I got in the habit of deleting my posts after a couple of days instead of leaving a trailing history.

    I don't use social media because I just can't deal with a lot of drama and nonsense that comes along with it. I don't want people knowing what I'm doing 24/7 and I don't care what others are doing 24/7. I stay to myself and I like it that way.

    I have a Facebook and Twitter account. It has been a year since I've logged into my account. I find social media boring and I am not interested in what most people are doing. Also, drama is one of the main reasons why I don't use Facebook. I only prefer to log into forums like these because the members here are friendly and easy to get along with.

    I don't get it when people say that they don't want people knowing what they are doing. People only know what you post. The drama depends on your friends and family. Some might be better left off your friends list.

    I find its food to stay in Contact with friends and family. My family can see pictures of my kids as they grow.

    I do use social media but rarely. Right now I only use face book and happy to say I haven't encountered any rude persons yet.
