The thread title is "Social Networking". That's why the list only contains social networking sites.

Yeah, I got ahead of myself there.I read this thread the other day and came back and forgot the exact title.

Though honestly I think you could argue that Youtube is used for networking to some extent.Though it does require less stringent membership and you need not input any personal data to open an account.Where as with a pure social networking site you do.

Anyway what I was trying to say is that nearly everyone does use some form of social media these days.Even Bob Dole.

You left off "boobbook" and "buttbook", but I forgive you for I no longer go to those web pages

I use Facebook to keep in touch with my girls at Uni and people I have met in Real Life.

Cheers

I use facebook and twitter.

Social media fears are todays version of the fears of new media, printed text, photographs, moving pictures, there's always technofear, and there will be in the next generation a different type, perhaps that of a fear of machine/mind mixing or AI self-awareness. Very few teenagers today have a fear of social media, and they are tomorrow, so our tomorrow will lose that fear of social media and information brokering, and so on and so forth.

According to this post shared on twitter, subsim is a social networking site too for I have seen the same thread on here a few months ago about some poor man in Europe getting his first car and even Sailor Steve had a thread about his first car in a long time.

It's just that we are lower class compared to this lucky girl in Seoul getting her first car for only $37,500

So we do qualify as a social networking: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/...#axzz2ggPDY4mY

It's no secret that Suzy is raking in the money and now she finally bought her very own car!

It has now been revealed that back on September 25, Suzy and her parents visited a BMW car dealership in Gangnam where she purchased her first car, a Mini Cooper Clubman, for 40 million KRW (~$37,350 USD). Suzy previously attended a driving school in Gwangjin, Seoul and got her license over the summer and is now ready to hit the road!


Her agency responded, "It is true that Suzy bought a car. It is not a gift for her parents but she drives around in it for her own personal use."

Well I hope your going to offer financial incentives to SubSim members for whatever you've got planned.

I don't think that counts as social media in the sense of the OP.

I would not consider TS a social network per se but i could argue it is at the same time.
