Because I am French and live in the UK, twitter helps me follow what is going on in France, the latest political, sports trends etc. I really really want an Iphone to get on Instagram - well will have to replace the Blackberry soon... I love Pinterest for inspiration, a bit harder to share your work, but it is like a library of things to make, fashion etc. Love it!Nat at Made in Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188146841501354978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-6420158422828877802012-08-06T18:45:12.905-04:002012-08-06T18:45:12.905-04:00Social media is a great way to make new friends an...Social media is a great way to make new friends and keep contact with old friends. I don't "get" twitter, although my blog posts automatically post to twitter, same with Facebook. However, I'm kind of addicted to Instagram!

I had set up a facebook pace for my blog and just getting the hang of how things work. Instagram is really fun and easy to share pictures. Flickr and twitter are two more social meadia outlets I want to get acquainted with by the end of this month.Martha https://www.blogger.com/profile/09758992129692347204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-78682773044279395872012-08-06T11:08:25.231-04:002012-08-06T11:08:25.231-04:00Oh shoot - I messed up my link name - didn't s...Oh shoot - I messed up my link name - didn't see that rule!

And I tune in to twitter once in a while. But my Facebook account is populated by people from graduate school and from work, who haven't the faintest interest in quilting, so I leave that alone.<br /><br />I second Marit's comment about adding a link to your blog post in a flickr photo description. It definitely brings a little more traffic. Plus, it allows people to read a little bit about the project, which I love when I run into it on other people's blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-6967436888363429982012-08-06T02:55:01.877-04:002012-08-06T02:55:01.877-04:00I love using flickr for blog and sewing related so...I love using flickr for blog and sewing related socializing. I have joined public groups that pertain to my interests/style or events that I follow along and then I post relevant photos in those groups. It's a great way to reach out to more people than just blogging. Of course, note in the description a link to your blog post on that photo and you might get extra visitors to your blog. And if you really like a photo you see, comment! Just like you would on a blog post. Flickr is a great way to be social!Marithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649298511088008357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-43554536433117728462012-08-06T00:16:11.493-04:002012-08-06T00:16:11.493-04:00Social media is a great way to make me want to thr...Social media is a great way to make me want to throw things at the TV, since it has inspired NBC to hire Ryan Seacrest to take away time they could be showing sports to give us a "social media update."<br /><br />:)Books_Boundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723318921408246471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-25929010506971928432012-08-05T23:42:54.292-04:002012-08-05T23:42:54.292-04:00Moving along nicely with my blog, Ravelry, Pintere...Moving along nicely with <a href="http://madebychrissied.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">my blog,</a> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/madebyChrissieD" rel="nofollow">Ravelry,</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/madebyChrissieD/" rel="nofollow">Pinterest </a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/madebyChrissieD" rel="nofollow">my facebook business page</a> (separate to my personal facebook account). Very new to using flickr and have to admit I'm not utilising it properly yet.

I LOVE Flickr and have been active on there since I began quilting in 2008. I love doing swaps and bees through flickr and finding inspiration. I just created a FB page and I just started using twitter and instagram. I really like instagram, but I really having figured out twitter yet. I feel like I don't get as much feedback on there as I do on Flickr and my blog. Maybe because no one follows me:)Janice @ Better off Threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321415199755860438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-83166927272454881422012-08-05T22:33:23.049-04:002012-08-05T22:33:23.049-04:00Social media is a great way to meet new quilty fri...Social media is a great way to meet new quilty friends who may become followers. It's also a great way to be in the know...to find out what's going on and how you can be a part of various activities. At present I use twitter, flickr, pinterest and facebook. Two of them I just started using recently after learning more about their value and use via your wonderful posts. Thanks so much for keeping this alive. You are greatly appreciated.Darlington Delightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901042800743021986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910271254510560111.post-39723654640217663062012-08-05T22:21:37.954-04:002012-08-05T22:21:37.954-04:00I am starting to use flickr more.

I also like being able to show WIP pics there and I just started a flickr group for people who have used my tutorials.
