What's your favorite social forum? Other favorites?

Used to be Facebook, but RallyPoint has surpassed it by far!

I have deleted my facebook, twitter and all those other "social" media sites that have added no value to my life. Rallypoint on the other hand...provides plenty of entertainment and knowledge which benefits me.

I enjoy RallyPoint, Facebook and LinkedIn. Each serves a different purpose for me.

It used to be Facebook, right now it is totally RallyPoint.

Depends on the situation. I really like Rallypoint overall but I use FB for personal stuff. I don't get on FB too often anymore though. Twitter? What's that? Just kidding. Don't care for it.

The short answer is that social forums are like a tool box. A person should pick the right tool for the job rather than treat every problem like a nail and pound it like a hammer. The question is not so much what is the best social forum but what is the best social forum for an individual? In addition, what is the best social forum for an individual may/will change over time (ie RallyPoint for while in the military but Linked In for transition out of and after the military). My perception is that Facebook is more for family/friends, Rallypoint is more for professional military, Linked In is more for professionals (private and public sector), and I have no clue about Twitter.

I use Facebook and Instagram a lot as a recruiter. Personally, I like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr and last but not the least Rallypoint!

Rally Point any day. FB only for family pics and I do not use twitter at all.

No particular favorite for me, I use all mediums in different ways. As previously mentioned by others, Twitter/Facebook for family & friends, LinkedIn for transitional purposes/networking, and RallyPoint for connecting/networking with my military family. Heck, I think I may even still have a MySpace account too, lol! I tried Instagram and some similiar sites briefly; however, I was not a fan.

I deleted my Twitter shortly after i made the account. I keep my Facebook for social interactions and for posting pictures, but Rally Point is my favorite.

For keeping in touch with family and friends? Facebook

To have truly meaningful and professional discussions regarding the military? Rallypoint

I have FB and Twitter. I love to have twitter, it keeps me informed and interspersed with humour.

All of the above, as well as LinkedIN.
