What social media platforms do you own?

SSG Derrick L. Lewis MBA, C-HRM — Sat, 10 Sep 2016 18:59:30 -0400

What social media platforms do you own to stay connected? Me personally only subscribe to RallyPoint and LinkedIn. Primarily because I enjoy the conversations, topics, and ability to deal with less trash. Lastly, because I am about the biz. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and everything else serves absolutely zero purpose in my life. So, RP Family, who do you subscribe to? Whatcha got!!??

Rallypoint is the only social media I use. I also have a flip phone. I've been preferring the low tech, low key approach lately as the world gets more and more involved into people's personal affairs.

I use a lot of social media platforms, but it's mostly a hold-over from my time as a recruiter. I primarily use RallyPoint now, and Facebook for some of my family members that live in other states. RallyPoint is the only platform I'm on daily though

I don't participate in many discussions outside of RP. Civilians are just too thin-skinned and generally don't have a clue beyond what they are told to believe. However, I have used all the the popular social media to promote my website (which is a storefront for my stories). I have reported occasionally on the efficacy of each. You can see these postings at the following link interspersed with a few others on the subject of blogging

Sometimes I fear that I may have failed those who follow this blog. When I began sometime in May, 2011, I posted just four times. However, I quickly warmed to the task and was posting two or more...

I'm on Here, Linked-In (For Professional Matters). I'm on Facebook with Family and Friends, Also I operate 3 pages on Facebook for Liberal Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Marines. Most of my time is on Twitter where I'm very active with a small group of very liberal retired military Information Warfare and Psyops Folks. I also have a page on Pinterest and Google Plus.

Also, I recited a speech- on the radio; wherein I tried to assist Suicidal Active Duty Service Members and Suicidal Veterans: with their struggles against taking their own lives. The hosts of the radio program said my speech went very well.

I am on face book because I have friends from East coast to West coast. It is the best and easiest way to stay in touch with everyone. Aside from that, I use RP and Linked. That's enough for me.

RallyPoint, LinkedIn, Instagram, Whatsapp and KakaoTalk. The last two are strictly for maintaining communication with family and friends as they are spread throughout the various timezones and countries which makes it difficult to use mobile service to hold conversations

RP, Twitter and Viber.
I use Twitter to help keep in touch with my spread out kids (San Diego, Phoenix, Okinawa), also follow my favorite sports teams and sportswriters.

I use Viber app for free phone calls overseas, mainly for when the wife is visiting the homeland or elsewhere overseas.

And i'm on RP for the obvious reasons. :)

I have everything but Twitter. I know, sounds like a lot. But each platform has a different use. Like for example, Ill come on rally point for advice, encouragement, and words of wisdom when it comes to military related things. But I wont ask for that on Facebook, I'll use that for keeping in touch with family and friends back home. Snapchat and Instagram for fun and keeping up with friends.
