There have been news stories out in recent weeks about studies that are heralding the future demise of Facebook. I asked a few friends with kids where the young ones are now hanging out if Facebook isn't so cool. The answer I've gotten back is Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram. I actively use Twitter, although not as much as I had been using Facebook. I've avoided even creating an account for Instagram because of major privacy and use concerns. Tumblr was something I wasn't quite as familiar with even though I subscribed to a few Tumblr-based sites. I had even looked into starting up my own Tumblr using the name of this blog as a way to move content from one platform to the next, but couldn't find the interest in following through. It occurred to me that I may have just become too old for Tumblr.
Leave me a comment about where you're contributing content or just hanging out social media-wise these days. If you're brave or don't give a toss, tell me your age too. I'm curious.

Twitter is the most used social network used in our group by far. I am of the oldest there so that might make a difference. Social Media Club Jamestown? Maybe after your FB break
I should use more social media avenues in regards to the day job. But really, the best, by far, are still Facebook and a very-distant-second-place Twitter. Regarding the dismal voter turnout this past election where only 7% of voters were under the age of 40, broadening social media horizons may be necessary.
