My Pinterest is very boring at the moment and I have to work on it. I absolutely love Instagram. There's Bloglovin now too which is quite new I think but good for keeping up to date with blogs.

I have no interest in it and don't think very much of what I see of it either. Also, there are only so many social media ways that I can engage before it becomes overwhelming and uses up too much of my time. <br />I love reading blogs but have found that it too takes up too much of my time so have been seriously looking at the number of blogs i follow and cutting out some (your'e safe) based on where I am at now. <br />I have been thinking of getting into instagram (you aren't the slowest) and I think it would complement my style. For me it wouldn't be so much a way to connect as a tool to capture my activities is a simple instant way. perhaps it would be a bit too like fb. that's why I have been delaying... <br />I also love Pinterest but don't use it as a way to connect, I use it as a pinboard for my own interests and projects.<br />I haven't even heard of the last one...Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894258034175095725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-30392111213942866052013-04-17T22:25:50.052+10:002013-04-17T22:25:50.052+10:00Facebook is still my fave.

I feel the same way as you about Twitter (and use it in the same way too), Instagram is my new love (thanks to you encouraging me to get on board!). I love the poster you made! I need to work out how to make collages from Instagram - not for print - just to put on the blog. I have a feeling it must be pretty easy but I have no clue...at heart I'm actually a secret luddite ;)Jodi Wileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380072896469532433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-51880216919470793982013-04-17T03:27:36.893+10:002013-04-17T03:27:36.893+10:00Well hello, I really enjoyed reading your preferen...Well hello, I really enjoyed reading your preferences on the different social media sites. I read blogs and interact on them. Google, Wordpress. I love flickr and use it with swaps & bees. Pinterest I love I am a real Pinner and pin for others. I do pin (upload) my own work and get a kick when someone repins. I have 2 FB accounts a rarely use either unless it is sending photos to family, my husband on the other hand uses it daily to talk to our daughters and most of our family all over the world. Instagram - never tried it, usually to busy with my own world to write about going shopping but I am not into texting much either. Google + - still trying to figure it out - I have come to realize it is not user friendly but it could be amazing to promote your blog, if it came with a user guide Ha Ha. Have fun on your trip and share photos when you get back!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841562485538558791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-59388994791218135602013-04-16T20:20:18.694+10:002013-04-16T20:20:18.694+10:00Yeah I love Bloglovin as well - although I was on ...Yeah I love Bloglovin as well - although I was on their homepage the other day to log in and there was some seriously AWFUL images showing up. X rated. I changed my settings and it was all good but GOSH - I wanted to wash my eyes.<br /><br />The one I forgot to mention was Google Plus. I've tried, so many times, but I get no interaction and it feels like a ghost town!<br /><br />Flickr is awesome for group events like bees and swaps. You can still browse it without having an account.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589284767041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-17653148214106005282013-04-16T20:12:09.770+10:002013-04-16T20:12:09.770+10:00I think you would love instagram - it has a really...I think you would love instagram - it has a really active sewing community. A lot of bloggers I like who I thought had slowed down on their blogs are very prolific on instagram.<br /><br />That said, I totally get it - another distraction!! :)Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589284767041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-67875989957297559682013-04-16T19:40:17.849+10:002013-04-16T19:40:17.849+10:00I'm like you Ros that I only tweet from Instag...I'm like you Ros that I only tweet from Instagram and FB comments. I have been known to comment on a program I'm watching. Usually to let them know I like it. I never sit and watch conversations unfold. I don't get on IG very much, really only to post a picture to go on the blog. I like how social media is becoming more and more integrated with blogging and that's about the only reason I like it. Overseas holiday? Where are you off to?<br /><br />xxDomesblissityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270409725826410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-1507347806931088032013-04-16T17:41:40.229+10:002013-04-16T17:41:40.229+10:00Facebook - we only set up a FB page because we fel...Facebook - we only set up a FB page because we felt we had to, to promote the business. Neither of us had a personal page before. I'm not a very share-y person with family photos, so I don't put any people-pics at all on FB. It's all just sewing and fabric. I'm so late to the FB party though, I think it will take me a while to get the hang of it and stop being so suspicious of it. I know it makes it boring for a lot of people - not sharing people-pics, but that's ok. People can 'like' you or not. I spend hardly any time on FB - I just check in every couple of days - though I do then scroll through to catch up on everyone's news. <br /><br />Twitter - I find the whole private-conversation-in-public thing really weird too. I think - just text each other. I follow a lot of news sites on Twitter, so I do like to scroll through it for that. I rarely - if ever - tweet. I've definitely replied to tweets, but I don't think I've ever initiated one - apart from occasional tweeting of instagram photos.<br /><br />Instagram - loooooooooove instagram. A lot. I love scrolling through all the sewing and crafty pics, and I find that there's a whole lot of love on instagram - lots of support and interest and sharing. Love it. A lot. I never see everything though - I follow too many people. It's only if I'm waiting at the GP's or sitting waiting for school pick up or something, that I scroll through my whole feed.<br /><br />Flickr - I've started using it a lot more since joining an online quilting bee, and since your Sweet Pouch Swap. I couldn't see the point of it before - but now I've joined lots of groups and made lots of contacts, there's so much love and sharing there too. I think I will use it more and more. <br /><br />Pinterest - loooove Pinterest. I use the search function a lot. I love the visual pinboard - I bookmark a lot of things so I don't lose them - but now I pin them instead.<br /><br />Is that all of them? I'm not on Goodreads, though I read a lot and love reading. <br /><br />Blog - I am so happy to have discovered Bloglovin' - I used to randomly think of blogs to catch up on and Bloglovin' has made it so quick and easy to keep up with blogs. Blogs are my favourite as you get more pics and the background story. I'm so non-techy though - so much to learn about blogging, photo editing etc. <br /><br />Thanks Ros for kicking off a fun discussion. xcat and vee xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740352837418442644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-64487802014754059392013-04-16T17:10:30.199+10:002013-04-16T17:10:30.199+10:00I don't really 'get' twitter!

I have it as an option for people to follow the blog, but I don't use it for anything else or check it...I guess that's why I only have about 50 followers. I get a few new people to the blog through flickr, but not a lot...better than none though! I've never used intsagram. The camera on my phone is so dirty and scratched that I don't take pictures with it. Probably best that I don't have another distraction!thingsforboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025820476772182937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-62495643460456527622013-04-16T09:05:01.406+10:002013-04-16T09:05:01.406+10:00I don't think I get additional traffic from fl...I don't think I get additional traffic from flickr but I just like being part of the community and part of the groups. There are a lot of people who contribute there who are not bloggers so it's great to see pics that you haven't already seen around already on blogs or Pinterest. I don't use it a lot but I do really like it.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589284767041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-73427064617282969942013-04-16T09:01:32.330+10:002013-04-16T09:01:32.330+10:00So true Karen!

Facebook... I live there...I heart social media too!<br />Facebook... I live there! lol<br />Twitter - I'm a bit like you when it comes to twitter. I don't frequent there as much as I used to... but I blame that on my inferior android phone that doesn't allow the app to work properly. It's quite glitchy. I prefer to use twitter from my phone.<br />Pinterest... It's not very often these days that I browse what everyone else is pinning. I pin new stuff all the time from blogs that I read though. Love to share the love ;-)<br />Instagram.... Well you know all about my lament with instagram! ONE DAY!!!!!<br />and finally Flickr.... I really should utilize it better. Do you find you get alot more love from readers sharing projects made using your tutes that way?<br />Great post lovely xoCassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012667285365009003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-64653073762153713652013-04-16T07:51:42.222+10:002013-04-16T07:51:42.222+10:00I pretty much agree with everything you have state...I pretty much agree with everything you have stated. I have a twitter account but havent even bothered to optimise it or link it to my blog yet... should I do that?<br /><br />I find that now I am using pinterest less and less. I have followed too many boards and now I don't really see any relevant posts in my feed, I used to check it daily and open at least 10 pages because they were relevant... but not anymore. It is still useful though and I use it every now and then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131999868132471424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-82894343294749078842013-04-16T06:56:08.362+10:002013-04-16T06:56:08.362+10:00I hate twitter, so I never use it, I think what go...I hate twitter, so I never use it, I think what goes on it is awful.
