Nope, I don't bother with it. That way I have more time for gardening and sewing, and actually getting together with friends.
I actually just took a break from a social media site, because it was starting to consume way to much of my time.
I'm not addicted to the social media, I'm just interested. Throughout high school I was homeschooled and did not focus on anything in the media. Now that I am in college, I see everyone talking about different things that are in the news. Since noticing this difference, I have started listening to the radio in the mornings and my cd's in the evenings. Also when I get on my laptop, I instantly see msn.com for major news and interesting facts.
Nah, it's interesting to check here and there, but I can't spend more than 15 minutes on it a week. I usually only check it when I get an inbox message or a picture is posted. I usually read the message and then just call my friend instead of doing anything else... It's kind of a lost cause for me.
I wouldn't go so far as to call my self addicted but I do constantly check my facebook and twitter accounts and with post pictures and link interesting articles every now and then.
I am not addict but i prefer to be part of social media community

A few years back when I did Examiner.com, the writers were always talking about where is the best places to promote our work. I feel like once you use all your social media accounts, hit up any forums related to your topic, reddit, and network with people you know, you're really out of places...
