Do you use social media in relation to your photography?

[Tannin]

Hmmm ...

The variety of evolving stand-alone and built-in social media services introduces a challenge of definition.The idea that social media are defined by their ability to bring people together has been seen as too broad a definition, as this would suggest that the telegraph and telephone were also social media ...The terminology is unclear...

About what I thought.

But Lewis Carrol said it so much more beautifully that I can:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master — that’s all."

- Through the Looking-Glass, 1872.

But it's an open thread you started, and some rational romp is a refreshing (humorous) read,
You can't then curb it, especially when you ask us to consider as an awful fact...

Zuckerberg alone owns about $70 billion worth of Facebook shares.


That's pretty insane that a 'thing' that's hardly tangible in a sense, can be worth that amount of money.

I'm not curbing it, I'm no censor

I'm just stating my opinion.

It just seems inutile to get into the semantics of it.

[Tannin]

It is perfectly sensible to respond to a vague, ill-defined, and almost meaningless question with a polite request for clarification of what the question means. This is not "over-thinking" or "pointless semantics", it's just an attempt to have a normal conversation.
Meanwhile, we still don't know what the question is.

Who's "we" ?

You seem to be the only one that's troubled by the question or its conciseness, most other members weren't thrown into a state of agitated confusion over it.

Its not my job to educate you.

You can include me in the "we".

I didn't respond to the original post because I did not understand what you wanted to know.

I could have given a glib answer of "Yes" to your question, but that didn't seem like a very sociable approach.

Do I?...Yes, sort of.

I have a 'photography related' FB page out there that doesn't get updated as often as it should. That's a shame in a very small way, all the images I've ever sold⁽¹⁾ were from there

I did start preparing/creating a web site/page to store, link or share from but thought that would be social media overload for this little black-duck. I can't even find the time to maintain a simple pre-prepare FB page. I may press on with it one day?

I just had a look, 81 followers on FB!...that's got to be some sort of record, surely?
