RE: OT: social media sites
For me, the facebooks is how I see what my extended family is up to. We talk once in a while but mostly look at pictures of each others kids lol. My wife uses it to chat with her sisters in California often.
I have made some good friends here and keep in touch with them through the chat function as well.
G+ isn't a social network site in the same manner as facebooks. Once you get the hang of it the site is much more entertaining.

I mainly use FB to keep in touch with some of the Beckett folks and games. But to be honest nothing beats a true convo on the phone or in person.

I rarely post there anymore. Most of the time I just make smartCUSS remarks on other people's posts.
The rant's on the facebooks are almost as bad as this place though.
Haha thats what I use it for, that and here is my social network. I'm kinda a loner.

RE: OT: social media sites
I do use Facebook to keep up with extended family that I rarely see or talk to and old Coast Guard buddies. Also some Beckett friends since I'm not around here all that much anymore.
Mostly here recently though I seem to use it more for my business than anything else. Nothing like free advertising!

This is what I use facebook for as well. I get to chat with some friends, look at their lives in pictures, and ignore the idiots that post every time they flush the toilet.
I don't tweet...For the same reason I listed above.
I like cards serial numbered 34/xx
