Default Twitter or Facebook anyone?

I have accounts with both of these social media sites. I have not found any Village or villagers who post on either. I love Twitter for getting quick info, news, scores, etc. Does anyone out there in TOTV land use either?

I do. Use Facebook. Not Twitter.

I use Facebook, not Twitter.
It's the only way I know what my kids are up to.

I don't use either. I am very skeptical about the lack of privacy. Also, I don't think anyone would be interested in all of my little comings and goings!

I'm a FaceBook addict. I'm on & posting all the time. I love it. It can be a lot of fun & a great way to keep up with family & friends. I use Twitter also, but mostly for my travel sites as we travel quite a bit.

There are a number of TOTVers who have moved to just Facebook as well as some who use both, like me. Not really into Twitter though. You cannot stay that anonymous on Facebook though so I limit my use of that quite a bit.

I am also not on Facebook -- I also have privacy concerns, and I have a couple of people from the past I'd rather not have contact me. Also, my life is not that interesting to be on Facebook - LOL. I was taking my 18 year old niece to the airport yesterday, and she told me I have to be on Facebook to "creep" on other people. I had to laugh at that. Oh to be 18 again and "creeping" on other people.

Oh no! No one told me that was a requirement for Facebook. I post about my uninteresting life all the time.

I do Facebook and have privacy restrictions so just my friends can see my personal information. I understand you being skeptical about privacy. I don't do any of the games, etc. because I don't want them having access to me or my friend list.

I keep up with a cousin, niece and nephew that I see only rarely.
