Never used them, probably never well. Too bad I live in a country that has an insane amount of people using it. :?
Just look at the graph below(% of people using social media).

most of those are below US numbers

you can't function here without it, people use it instead of a real phone or even an email now, if you go out to coffee or a restaurant or anything they are still on social media at least 50% of the time instead of facing you and talking.

I despise them all, only reason I don't delete it is the above, I won't be able to find out when they are meeting for coffee or the next anything is if I do delete it and I would pretty much be in solitary confinement in my apartment. No one ever calls my phone but doctors even when I give it out. I use Twitter for activism, don't use other "social" media, a few forums for discussions that is all. Had tumblr but just found a lot of hate (that and porn seems to be what 99% of the internet is)

I long for face to face with one or two friends
