Title: Which social media channels do you use?
Post by: Brazen on August 20, 2015, 10:05:08 AM
I'm having to explore pretty much every social media channel for my new role, and some are pretty painful. So far I've drawn the line at SnapChat as no-one wants to tap me up for potential future revenge porn, but I'm sure I'll have to learn soon as apparently people really do use it for recruitment campaigns. How many do you use?

Here's one English-language centric top 12, though sources vary. How many of these do you post to or interact with (just browsing or watching YouTube videos doesn't count), and do you use anything not on the list?

Facebook
Twitter
Google+
YouTube
LinkedIn
Instagram
Pinterest
Tumblr
Vine
Snapchat
Reddit
Flickr

And I lurk on Reddit occasionally.

There is a German equivalent of LinkedIn that I use.

Facebook mostly.

LinkedIn

Youtube though I don't post anything.

I used to use Twitter alot but I have fled in terror from it.

I have Google+ and Tumblr but I hardly ever look at them.

I use Facebook a lot.  Twitter sometimes, but rarely post anything.  I watch Youtube and occasionally post something unpublished for family to see, but don't really use it for social media.  I stay up to date on LinkedIn but don't particularly like it.  And I have a Google+ account but hardly ever use it because very few people I know use theirs.

I read Twitter several times a week, but no longer post an occasion post there.

I post on Facebook several times a day. I use Twitter as a news source and to find out about companies and individuals, and to complain to or compliment companies. I used Google+ to promote articles I'd written as it helps SEO but only used it briefly since as it's linked to an Android game I'm playing. I no longer post videos to YouTube. I've started playing with Instagram and Pinterest for work purposes, but they're just total time drains. I've just downloaded Vine and will experiment with a couple of 10-second videos soon.

For work purposes? I guess I had the impression Pinterest was for the DIY crowd.

I use Facebook often although I usually don't post anything myself more than once or twice a week.

Nothing else besides LinkedIn, which I keep updated for employment purposes but I don't use in any social manner. I of course watch YouTube but haven't posted a video in there in years. Instagram, twitter, etc... I signed up for them back in the time but they were too much work.

Facebook. I lurk on Twitter.
LinkedIn is just a source of grief.  :(

Facebook is the only one I use, although I rarely post. I'm planning another major purge of 'friends' to get below 100.

I have a Linkedin account but it's never been of any use. Haven't used Flickr since they went 'awesome' a year or two ago.
Had a twitter account but quickly deleted it, Google+ is still around but only to host some files.

Facebook is the only one I use.  I have a Google+ account (it comes with having a Google account, apparently), but I'm never there, never check it.

Facebook is nice to keep in touch with my family (none of my cousins live close) and distant (geographically speaking) friends and a few forum acquaintances.

Only account I use is Facebook.  Well, I did register a Twitter handle once, but only to try and show my dad how it works.

I have checked out Twitter, Reddit, Linkedin, Instagram, and Pinterest, but never posted, and not reguarly.  I suppose I have a Google+ account since I have a google account, but don't use that at all.

Facebook only, and I only use it to get news.  I am not an active user.

Channel of the week for me to learn is Tumblr. My brain is full. But being responsible for social media does mean I have an excuse for watching cat videos at work.

Facebook as a semi active user, I really only use the messenger part and only occasionally post there. Twitter as a reader if I'm bored, I pretty much only follow comedians.
