Default social networking what do you use?

I am curious as to what social networks sites we all use. Facebook is really common and probably among the most popular, MySpace i am not so sure about (or if it is even used anymore and then there is google+ and even twitter.
So which ones do you use? if other please feel free to reply with it.

None of the above, because I do not use social networks, run a blog, or whatever.

Specific personal information + internet = bad idea

None of the above and I share the same sentiment as Ducimus.

Social networking can hurt you in so many ways these days.

Thats why I keep everything hidden (birth year, city living in etc) even my friends cant see that stuff if they don't know it oh well. I also have a password that is a jumble of letters numbers and special characters(if permitted by the site). What hurts people these days is they have no sense of security. No antivirus, spyware or malware protection so there can be a (keyloger grabbing passwords), then to top it off they make everything public so even if someone doesn't know them it is possible to pull birthday location and such oh and cant forget the vacation pictures or my personall favorite is add people from groups for games they play. They make it easy they expect to automatically be safe and not have to do anything.

I use Facebook mainly to keep up with friends I don't see and family.

Twitter and Instagram I have...but I hardly use them.

Skype...I use for gaming friends/subsim friends.

Google+ I only have because I have a Gmail Account.

You arrive with a keg of that cherry flavoured firewater and your welcome any time
