[Blindtlk] Don't give up on Facebook please!

Fri Aug 1 13:28:52 UTC 2014

I disagree. Of course it’s your prerogative to do what you like, but I find Facebook, and Twitter as well, to be extremely useful. It’s not just about keeping up with friends or acquaintances, but finding others with similar interests, or simply getting yourself out there professionally if it is applicable. I think at this time, to throw social media out entirely is to be stuck in the past. It is more and more a part of life today, and will be harder and harder to not use social media of some kind.

Just my opinion.

If you have people that you want to keep up with who are not accessible on texts, E Mail or phone call, then social media totally has a place.
