Do I? Well, I am, at this very moment, living with it, indeed, interacting with it.

Could I? I have, in the past, quite cheerfully.

Should I? When it becomes excess to my needs, then yes.

Would I? Well, seeing as I have, that rather renders the question redundant, I think.

Cold letters on a screen do not compare to the warmth of the sound of a human voice.

The above post/image says it all. Also add Twitter to that, which I think is even worse than Faceache. Difficult to navigate, and with an intrusive and amateurish interface. Also I found the site extremely slow, with the posting page constantly freezing up. Ten minutes to type a 24 word sentence, is laughing in the face of credibility.

After two weeks of experiencing both these media sites, I closed my accounts. Personally, I can't see the attraction.

I have a look at facebook now and then but I've never been a fan of motivational quotes and sharing every sloppy thing you see on the net.

Twitter however is great. It's my number one news source. It can only be immoral and undemocratic if those are the kind of accounts you like to follow.

Some journos like to complain that it's all twitter chat and twitterati and the mummy press (see Divine, Markson, Bolt) but perhaps they are the worst possible accounts to follow.

Diversify.

If I was to get a social media account, it would be Twitter - but even then it would be protected, so only people you allow to follow you can see what you've written.

I think Facebook can be good if you use it for the right reasons.

Social media sites are a bit like bunjee jumping; if a sufficient number of people have already expressed their views, you don't have to try it yourself in order to form an opinion of it.

Facebook irritates me enough at times to want to close my account but I admin a couple of work pages so it's not practical to just shut down my account, even temporarily. The rest I could go without but I do like Instagram.

For all you hear the good, and bad, social media must have something going for it to have remained popular for so long.

Maybe it's because sometimes you meet the nicest people in the strangest of circumstances.

Saw the caption, preferred the picture.
