I use facebook and my wife and a lot of the other social network sites I'm a member of a trying to get me to use twitter. I don't like to move too quickly into the technology age of things. LoL! Besides I really thing twitter is a bit overrated and inflated. But that's just me. My wife on the other hand did manage to win 4 tickets to a show. So that was cool, we took the kids and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

I use facebook and myspace mostly. I signed up for twitter but I just didn't get it. I mostly signed up because a friend said she was making money on it. But it just seemed too much. I couldn't follow one person because there were just so many updates coming in from all that I was following that i was missing the ones I wanted to see. So I just haven't messed with it much.

I am using facebook because my sisters use them but personally, I would prefer the simplicity of friendster and multiply. As for tweeter, it is getting popular but I have no plans signing up on that site. I have too much socializing website I cannot attend to them anymore and I don't want my email be clouded with so much reminders.

I've heard of friendster, my wife is a member of all of the popular social networking sites, she has really been in touch with the technological age. I'm still a dinosaur I guess.

I don't have enough time to belong to much so ,I keep it pretty small though love this site. This is where ,I come when using net. besides what ever else might have gotten me to use IE.

I use myspace, because it to me seems much simplier to use. I have tried the facebook and of course the twitter but its just not for me. I guess I have just gotten used to the things with myspace... And now can't leave it, its so addicting, lol.

Isn't that's how they keep alot of their people, they bring out the latest and greatest technology and get everyone HOOKED on using it and then they find it very hard to let it go.

I've seen orkut, but it's too much like facebook for my tastes. I have small kids that are in and out of the room that I use the computer in. I only use facebook to keep up with family and friends. I don't use it for much anything else. I prefer to get paid for my online activities even if it's a slow payment like on mylot. Something is better than nothing in my book.

I use Facebook, to keep in touch with my friends and also like to play the games in facebook. I am really addicted to the game applications. As for twitter, though I have joined the site for quite some time, but I don't really understand how it works and what to do with it. So, I seldom login to the site.

Hello Hdjohnson! It's been awhile. I figured I better get back and get busy since it's been so long and I am almost close to cashout for the month. That is really awesome your wife was able to win 4 tickets to a show! Well I've been a member of myspace for a couple years now. I can't say I was addicted though like alot of people are there but I really enjoyed it to be able to stay in contact with all my friends in family in my hometown I grew up in. I always thought facebook was boring when I first signed up than I began to really love it, now even more than myspace. Twitter, yeah, I agree is way overrated. I spent a little bit of time on there but I'm not liking it that much. I have to say facebook is my favorite at the moment.

I use Facebook. I am not active there everyday but go there about 3 times per week . I have not checked out Twitter yet, it seems I have barely enough time to visit facebook. I have heard good things about it and will probably check it out here sometime soon. Right now trying to devote a little more time than normal on myLot to increase my earnings as I will be able to make my payout this month - finally!!!!! I sign on each day and do a few posts, mostly responses. Rarely do I start a discussion and probably should more often.

I use quite a few social networking sites, but I really like Twitter lately. Why ? Well simple...because ever since facebook has changed the way it lays things out, we get EVEVERYTHING our friends are doing, including things from some of the stupid apps they have added, I find it so annoying. I hoestly don't care "what kind of vampire" my friend is, or who she has recruited on mafia wars, all that stuff, sometimes I just wanna know what's going on with their day or what' on their mind, and don't have time to search thru their pages, or go on one of my instant messeging things to find out. With twitter, u go on, u look, respond if u so choose, then youre off again, simple. I think twitter is a god-send and i hope they never change.

I use twitter to promote my handcrafted items in my etsy.com shop. It has really been great for that! If you are looking for a social network, facebook is where it's at! Twitter is basically sellers selling to sellers. If ya got something to sell, then you might like it.

long time no interaction rocketj1 Thanks for breaking down the twitter and facebook sites. I didn't know that about twitter. It's also did not know that you could win tickets on there, but my wife found some, and she won them.

I've never used Twitter. I only use Facebook because it's easier to be in contact with my out-of-town family. I've heard Twitter is pretty cool; but not as great as first "reported". I'd rather use Facebook.

Never could stomach these social networking sites, so that would be a no. I truly hate them and I doubt I will ever use them unless I would somehow be forced into it by some circumstance or another.
