#4 I've never been on any "social media" either. I actually had some idiot tell me once that they would never trust anybody who was not on farcebook. I just laughed...

#5 Small minded people, needing to show others what they are doing to feel like their life has some worth.

If you need to send everyone you met a pic of yourself buying a really nice head of broccoli to feel like you have some place in this world, you don't need social media, you need a new life.

Must be something wrong with me, I'm just the opposite.

#8 I signed uo with Facbook to keep an eye on teenage daughters, then met some interesting people there. It's not where I live, but I pick my friends carefully, and so mostly avoid drama.

#11 I am honored to be one of trailing wife's FB picks. I originally signed up when I was planning a high school reunion - it proved quite helpful. It's like any tool - useful but abusable.

#12 Twitter really is for twits.

Facebook now is mostly trolls, advertising, and click-bait anymore. Plus they trend-up lefty stories and trend-down conservative stories.

I think time is ripe for the 'next best thing'.

#13 A tsunami of trivia.

#14 Oh, Twitter is a chirpy little critter
That eats your thoughts and shits them in its litter,
And Facebook is your friendly little buddy...

And I should probably stop now.
