As for me, I find that Free Republic is a one-stop source for new and informed opinion. Consequently, I've never developed an interest in any form of so-called social media. FR is a community of Conservatives. That's not the case elsewhere. I've made some quick visits to Twitter and Facebook but neither stay open in my browser continually as does Free Republic.
s/new/news/I see your point, but at the same time, you can choose who you are “friends” with or who you are “following”. I just deleted a ton of liberal people off my friends list in facebook. They annoyed me.
I agree.
I’ve become more active on Facebook but never Twitter.
Still find Facebook a bit clunky and am not proficient at it.
It just doesn’t work like Free Republic, which is what I’m used to.
