Facebook is far more politically informative than FR. I use it to keep in touch with family and friends AND to promote issues of importance to me. I also follow many fine conservatives. Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Allen West, Herman Cain, Victoria Jackson, etc all do a fine job of informing and educating. My pet subjects are the Constitution, 2nd Amendment, Pro-life and defeating and lambasting liberals. Also, follow a host of tea party organizations.
I follow most of those people on Twitter. Twitter is useful to me in more ways than I can count. And I hope that the feeling is mutual for those who follow me.
LinkedIn hasn’t done much for me so far but I keep hoping.
Pinterest is just fun, more so for women.
There are several literary sites I like, including librarything and goodreads. Bookcrossing also has some social media features if you like that sort of thing. I was a little sorry to see goodreads sell out to amazon.
I agree 100%. I have found it is a great way to keep up with family and friends. All are Christian Conservatives. I had 2 liberal friends. I unfriended one because I did not want to read her liberal junk and the other unfriended me because I said something bad about her leader. Do not really miss either. When I was going through a really bad time recently, it was FB friends support which really helped me. They have known me for many years so they knew what to say or verses, etc to send me. FB is what you make it not someone else. We may not have seen each other in years but when we do, it is like it was way back when. I find it interesting that a certain women’s list has really been sending posts to support three females for office including WD in Texas. I read what some have to say and the majority complain about it coming to their feed. I enjoy FB.
