If You Had To Pick One Social Media Platform For The Rest of Your Life What Would It?

The internet police are making you choose one social media platform for the rest of your life. Which one do you pick and why?

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Just realized I screwed up the thread title but you get what I meant

 

[Perfect Cell]

Twitter, since it's the only one that I use.

Brian can you explain to me a bit about Twitter? I just don't really get it. I follow a bunch of celebs, comedians, DJs and poker stars. I tweet random musings with no real thought. It says I have over 200 followers but I have no idea who most of them are, if they are bots or what. I just don't get the Twitter and how it works. And there all these weird ass accounts that follow me and then stop following me, I feel like they are just trying to get me to follow them but I never do

Twitter is like a blog, with 200 characters limit to what you can type in per post.
The followers are people who subscribe to your twitter account.
I think a DJ like you has enough fans who love your taste in music.

I use Twitter as a news aggregate, so I can get news in real-time. I don't really use it as a social network. The best way to use it is to follow the accounts of people, organizations or websites that interest you. When something noteworthy happens in your field of interest, you'll see tweets about it, as it happens. You can do this with Facebook and the like as well, but Twitter's character limit keeps the tweets succinct, and makes it easier to scan through a bunch of tweets quickly. I use TweetDeck on my desktop to have the feed constantly available to me, so I can see tweets as they happen. Although I only use it for sports, video games, movie and TV news, basically.

Edit- Also, yes, you will always get random people following you, and most of them are just trying to get you to follow them back. You just kind of ignore it, or you can block them if you find them annoying or malicious.

Well I get the basics of Twitter but I just don't get the gist of it if that makes sense. I use it, primarily if I'm taking a smoke break just to browse around but I just want to understand it better from someone that uses it all the time.

Also the character limit is 140 just like old school text

I got ya, that's kind of what I do but I rarely use it on my laptop. I just browse it on my phone. For me I'm big into Bookface since I have built that up the most and do a lot of networking with other DJs on there

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I don't use any of those... wheres the "none of the above"

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

That would be the other option

 

[Evelisse]

Twitter is where I go to talk to Lou Diamond Phillips.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

Boobies and scotch.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I think that could be the hottest new social media platform of the 21st century Triple J

It worked well enough in the 18th, 19th and 20th century too.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Email.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

facebook, but you can't post youtube comments without google+ now

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Where's Tom?

MySpace is a wannabe music app now that nobody uses so it is included under other

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Is Friendster dead?

 

[Tanin]

I'll stick with Tumblr.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I'll stick with Tumblr.

Hasn't that fallen to an army of "social justice" warriors?

Yes, but I stick with TV news and fandoms and ignore all the SJW ********.
