Something I have been meaning to ask our members for a long time: do you actively use social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. ?
If so, which networks do you frequent and what do you mainly use them for?
Here on JREF, we introduced social media buttons three years ago. They generate a trickle of additional traffic, but it's not really significant. However, more and more members seem to sign up through Facebook due to its simplicity. The "viral effect" of SN is still marginal at best.
Apart from promoting JREF-related content, I personally use Facebook and Google+ once in a while, but I abhor the exhibitionism displayed there. I'm not really interested in what people had for lunch or where they've spent their weekends. I have never understood the hype over Twitter, which seems totally useless (although even the pope appears to use it these days, in Latin).
What are your social media habits? Do you believe they have a future?
