Do you use any of these? Perhaps to promote your gear, music or bands?

Discuss....

FB and Linkedin, not for any kind of promotion, just contact with friends and networking within my industry.
There are a few twitter feeds that I check on a regular basis, but I don't have an account.
Used to use Google+ for communication with the local Waze editors... but I haven't used it in over a year.

I don't use any of them. I'm not anti-social, just selectively social.

I've been having a lot of fun with Instagram personally, Mike. Facebook is becoming less and less interesting to me - have grown weary of the constant political debates there!

Faceache and Instagram. :P Well, Instagram is connected to Facebook, so I got that to post pics to Facebook, but I do use that one besides that reason. Facebook I have a love/hate, with more of a hate relationship with, so I call it a necessary evil, since I do have connections on there, with people I've worked with and friends and family. The political stuff can get on my nerves, but I stay out of it, since I do have people on both sides of the political fence on my friends list. I don't want to spend my time arguing about politics, which would take away from attention from your music, and just uselessly add to my stress level. Like Frank Zappa once said, "Shut up and play yer guitar." :roll:

Currently using these for business only:

Twitter, Google + and Instagram

Outside of business, I don't use any of them. And honestly, even for business use, I just don't like Instagram. Twitter is kind of fun.

None of the above, just a bit old fashioned I guess.
I prefer in person, voiced, letters or email/forums in that order for my social needs.

I have accounts on FB, Twitter, MySpace and Google+ but don't use any of them I found if I don't use them I'm not actually missing out on anything so I don't really do social media these days. Who needs them when you have the Fender Forums. :D
Edit - I do use twitter as a third party posting agent for photos that I want to post on these forums.

I'm on Bandmix.com too. One of the best places to find gigs, band members, etc.

Even better than halfway houses! :)

I am not too social, I do have Linkedin, and use it very rarely. This forum here is about as social as I get

Bandmix? I didn't know that one... Does it feature a smartphone app too, or is it just a website?
