Wanted to share an old video about social networks.~

Spoiler:
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5WAWBXIYvY[/ame]


I haven't even heard of Friendster, nor stepped in there. I heard of hi-5 which is another site that I made an account on, but I only went in there once. And then there's myyearbook...in which I forgot what it's called now. It's become a teen dating site now, and pretty stupid too. ;;

Do you follow the "in" or what most people tend to do? AKA "Flappy Bird"; "#hashtagnofilter"; etc...

LMAO Flappy Bird. That was a short lived sensation imo. It was an okay game but it's more frustrating than flinging pissed off birds at pigs. I still have that app on my phone..not going to uninstall it. muahahaha.

I don't usually follow the trends the moment they come out, but when I do find them interesting, I follow them. Sometimes it depends on what's really hot for me or not. #hashtags are kinda old for me now, since I was there when hashtags were first used on twitter and not anywhere else.

And yet people are selling phones with the Flappy Bird game on eBay. Makes me question humanity sometimes XP There are other games that are quite similar to the concept of Flappy Bird, but why is it that this particular one got such recognition in a short amount of time?

Eh, I'm also not the type to follow trends, to be honest. The only one would be Instagram, where I use multiple tags, but not to the point of creating an entire paragraph full of them. Maximum I would probably use 5-7 hashtags, but I see other people putting like 10+; looks ridiculous and convoluted...

Nope, not really. But all this Flappy Bird craze did make me curious so I installed it (when it was still available) and tried it out.. was not impressed, hah. Removed the app from my phone fairly quickly. There are so many impersonations on the App Store now of people trying to milk money and it makes me sick. Some of these app developers are just disgusting.

& omg, MySpace ahaha. I never really got into it but I remember making accounts pretending to be Naruto characters because I was 15 and totally immature. xD;

wow iPads with Flappy Bird pre-installed is actually more expensive than iPads without it :/
guess the world has burned :[

ANYWAYS, i do it sometimes and may get a little cray when it comes to hashtags tho :[

Also, in social network news, Did you know that Ellen Degeneres' famous Oscar selfie had become the most retweeted tweet and it had been so retweeted, Twitter crashed? #themoreyouknow

>ebay is selling phones/tablets with flappy bird installed



Why not find the app in any file hosting thingy and install it from there? xD

I couldn't watch the Oscars that night, but I did see Ellen's 'super selfie'. Guess it got so widely popular that Twitter couldn't handle it. ALSO remember when Justin Bieber was the #1 worldwide trend on twitter for sooo many months that Twitter banned the topic for a while? They found out that fans were putting Justin Bieber on top just because :P

Hmm, I don't really have much of a favorite social network "of all time". I feel that I grew up with all the networks I used. I really do miss the nonsense myspace had, where we had the freedom to add whenever we want to, as well as the ability to customise our profiles using superly basic HTML. Both Facebook and Twitter makes things so easier to communicate, but not to express yourself as much. So, if I were to choose one to call it my favorite of all time, it'd be myspace. xD

Hm, I would say Facebook, but at the current state it's become quite stagnant and boring. The only reason I use it is to communicate with friends whose phone numbers that I don't have otherwise I just text them \: Tumblr I think would be considered my favourite because it allows the freedom of editing everything to my liking; it's basically an outlet for trying out layouts and practicing my HTML/CSS skills. The community there has the weird sense of humour that fits into mine so that's nice as well XD

Tumblr of course! It has everything I need to suit my personality, whether it'd be me squeeing over the cutest faces ever, having a laugh or finding stuff for my avatars/sigs. I also love to share my musical taste there as well, and yeah when I'm not on PC you'll most likely see me posting on Tumblr because it's sorta my second internet home, after PC.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

Goodness, I could say a million things about how awesome Tumblr is. <3 Although these days the only time I'm active is during the weekends, when NASCAR is on TV.

Also guys...has anyone noticed a slight change in Facebook's layout? Or is it just me? xD The notifications bar and the search bar switched places.

Everyone's been complaining about the Facebook changes o.o I'm not entirely sure what everyone's talking about because I don't notice anything XD

This is what they have now. (also excuse the EXCESSIVE PONYNESS I HAVE ON MY FACEBOOK. There's this app called Ponyhoof that ponyfies your facebook and isn't that cool or what)

Spoiler:


Tumblr does the same thing, but users don't notice the changes until a week or more later. xD

Does anyone get annoyed when a social network makes a change or makes a few changes? Or do you just shrug and move on?

I usually don't mind but some changes just confuse me beyond belief. Took me a while to get used to Twitter's new layout but I've finally adjusted I think. Sometimes they reorganize everything and I just sit dumbfounded in my frustration. @[email protected]; Hard to get used to, aha.

The Facebook changes have been subtle and there's nothing wrong with them so whenever people are complaining about it, I'm just going with the flow~ As long as everything I normally visit can be seen within one click then I'm good. Also, the new layout for Twitter was very welcomed on my end :D Don't use it much, but I like it better than the last one.

omg when Twitter debuted their new layout. That was confusing as well. You know what confused me the most? The @replies that tie into a thread-like thingy and that always throws me off so much. It makes me thing "hey wait a minute i just sent that three hours ago" and then I find a response that tied into that tweet. Really, twitter... >_>

A long time ago Twitter kinda allowed us to try out the new version before it was defaulted. I don't know why they didn't do that this time. /5yearuser

What are your favorite social sites?

I mainly use Facebook but I check Twitter all the time and tweet every couple of days. Instagram was cool but it faded on me.

I'm going to agree with you on instagram. It was a cool fad, but I got pretty bored of it tbh. Now I just use either Twitter or Tumblr to upload/share pictures (sometimes facebook if it's something I want to share with my classmates/family). My little sister's pretty fascinated by it, actually. She just posts pictures all around her. lol

Welcome to the club, btw~

Why do you use social networks? Is it because of the wittingly apps, or just to interact with people or etc?

99% of the time I interact with people, whether via private messaging, or by...anywhere in the comments. Twitter is quicker because you can just send a line to someone and they'll respond whether they are online or on mobile. Facebook is the same thing...but it's more real time because you'll get to know if they are online or not. xD

Pretty much just to stay in the loop with people I don't see all the time. It's a good tool for that.

I use them to connect with other people as well as with group members for certain assignments. It is very easy to keep notified about all group happenings with a Facebook group, plus one can post up assignments or edited versions of it. No more inconveniently emailing each other back and forth! As for other people, it's a great way to keep in touch with friends from other countries or those that you have lost touch with.

I used to be big on groups on FB because they can get you close to the group members for any project you might have. For me, now we just use skype for those kinds of things.

Speaking of which: Choose one - Skype or Hangouts? & why?

Hm, to be honest, I'm not entirely familiar with Google Hangouts so I guess my decision may be slightly biased towards Skype \: In regards to a legitimate reason, I think I like having an actual program on my desktop rather than constantly having to go through Google to access it, unless there's one for it too, correct me if I'm wrong ><

On another note, I logged into Facebook today and found that the layout changed ;-; Everything's too big! There's too much spacing @[email protected] My OCD is kicking in...
