    Twitter (And that's only because it's handy for contacting certain companies).

    I've got a ghost account from Bebo from when I was 12 though. Been meaning to delete that.

    Bebo was my first. Deleted that a few months ago after not logging on to it in over a year. Moved to Facebook and then Twitter, use the two regularly.

    Myspace - Deleted and never really used it.
    Bebo - Profile still there, holds sentimental value :rolleyes:
    Facebook - Yes.
    Twitter - Yes.
    Google+ - Yes but not really active on it.

    I'm on other sites like Pinterest, that seems to be getting popular now.

    I'm sure I joined loads of sites when they were all on the go but can't remember any them.

    I genuinely feel a bit sorry for people who claim that Boards.ie is a social network and indeed is the only one they use...

    Personally I have personal accounts on Facebook and Google+. I operate the company accounts for the same and a number of other social networks. Reading twitter makes me fear for the future of the species, it really is http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3owe5a/

    The only reason I use Facebook is because everyone I know is still using it. Google+ is superior in each and every way, yet the mass migration there hasn't began yet sadly. I do try to post/be active on G+ though regardless. I absolutely hate Facebook and the "improvements" they keep forcing on the users.

    With all that being said, with the "land of the brave and the home of the free" trying to stick their head into everyone's private business more and more (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57428067-83/fbi-we-need-wiretap-ready-web-sites-now/?tag=mncol%3BmorePosts), I'm considering deleting my social networking accounts.

    No I'm not bothered expanding on it, if you believe that you're socially networking when you're making anonymous comments on a discussion forum then you've to get out of the house more.

    Post-posting edit: ****e, sorry Micky, I didn't realise you were the one who posted Boards.ie and were indeed the only one. Don't take this as some form of personal shot at you as a result, I genuinely thought there was more than just yourself who posted it.

    So cool. I hope you tell your mother what great friends you've made on Boards.ie when she's bringing you your meals at the computer. Can't risk missing a moment of the "lols" with your close buddies on Boards.ie after all!

    Because you can't make a thread saying:

    OMG all some people want to do is bring you down.

    where someone replies:

    What's wrong?

    And you say:

    Don't want to talk about it here.

    If you do that a boards mod will lock the thread and ban you. Which is a good thing of course.
