I am, I love Twitter. I think Facebook is stupid and unnecessary, I don't post a lot on Twitter but on Facebook people post everything they're doing all day! It's crazy!!

Absolutely not! There is so much to learn online and although certain networks may come and go - I don't think that social media will ever die. But, I do think that it will evolve.

I also think that a digital detox is necessary from time to time to keep you in the real world!

I agree with you that some aspects of social media are getting a bit stale. I only really go on Facebook now out of habit, and to keep in touch with people in different countries.

                   

That said, there are some other social media sites that I love. I think the key is find the one that's right for you. Facebook for me serves as a replacement for contacting people "IRL" (in real life). 

I would rather talk to my friends over coffee, than read about what they're up to online. Personally I like Twitter as it as lot more dynamic- ie. You can follow and unfollow people as much as you want, without being limited to just your friends.

I follow a lot of comedians, and other funny people who's posts entertain me, and if they start to get boring, or post stuff that doesn't interest me, I just unfollow. Easy! (Not so easy to keep "unfriending" people you actually know...!)

I also like sites that are about a particular subject, or interest, that allow for social media connections too, eg. Blurtit is a Q & A site, but you can interact with other users. Pinterest allows you to looks at other peoples pins... That sort of thing.

Here's a funny YouTube clip about Twitter (one of my favourite social media sites) which I thought was pretty funny - sorry if you don't like Musicals!

It depends, I am, people will either talk about other people's personal lives which can be upsetting cause they don't need to know that or they will just start something stupid.
