Bit I never update

Facebook for about a year; Twitter for the last couple of months.

Twitter

A lot.

Check both regularly but only post occasionally.

Book.

just check it most evenings to see whats going on.

Never used Twitter in my life and have no intention of doing so.

Every day.

Twitter nicely links both Facebook and Myspace so the fact I just put 10 new Liverpool Bands on the Myspace player means I only have to update once and it hits all three.

Only started Twittering fairly recently.

Facebook is great for keeping in touch with geographically distant friends & family.

every day. Gave Twitter a rattle for a while. I don't think it's for me.

Far too much.

I have a Twitter account, but it doesn't get used.

But that is really for work.

Its for live stuff, as it happens, via your phone.

but do not regularly use them.

Never update; hardly bother with these days.

I'm growing accustomed to being told email is archaic. They said that about vinyl, too, as they spread jam on their CDs.

Tried Facebook.Didn't like it.

Thought I was a luddite but I can see I am in better company than I thought

Far too much. Don't know why. Every minute spent on there feels like a minute wasted. I'd like to close my account but I'm worried that friends will think I've unfriended them, and therefore resent me.

Ah, the dilemmas of contemporary society.

Facebook was clearly invented by blokes to reflect their way of staying in touch -in other words the odd grunt of acknowledgement every 6 months (that's what the 'like' button is for) and the chance to put up a crap joke from time to time or to moan about the football to people who don't care (otherwise known as 'status updates'). And mobile technology means you can do all that whilst having a dump. Basically it's a major step in the process - apparently being intentionally facilitated by all forms of media - of turning everyone in the country into a teenage boy. What's not to like?

and they've completely changed the way I keep in touch with my friends (in a good way, I think)
