I like twitter and google+ and wordpress for their ability to link to others, create circles, promote their own content. I also reach more people through these outlets. Facebook and blogger seems to be stuck in red tape: advertisements, getting in their own way with rules, bad press and changing the rules on you with our without notice.

Found out where my notifications are and how to link to other followers, so that's a plus (+), getting a lot of moving gifs about people or pets falling over in a 'world's un-funniest home videos' show, so that's a minus (-). Have a sneaky tactic of moving the people who post gifs into their own special circle, and then I never look at that circle.Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059559142070140041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-1030772665701641202013-06-04T13:25:00.530+10:002013-06-04T13:25:00.530+10:00Personally I haven't done much of any social i...Personally I haven't done much of any social interaction.
