1. Many DU'ers and ex DU'ers do the twitter

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I can't say I've always posted on facebook...

I think I joined in 2009...

And I'm here more than I'm there, normally.

:hi:

3. Twitter - but more reading than tweeting (following lots of great libs/Dems/progressives)

[defendandprotect]

4. Interesting ...

Know there are long lists of people you can follow --

can you make any recommendations on those "great libs/Dems/progressives" -- ???

26. oh, it's all connected

the faked moon landing at Area 51, how the US stole the a-bomb from Germany, how the Mayans invented television.

ALL connected.

22. I finally went to TWITTER because of Michael Moore ---

Those you mentioned are also of high interest to me but usually catch them elsehwere --

Thanks for the info!

Are these generally blogs -- or just brief comments they're writing -- or both?

[Dover]

15. Here's a great liberal site you'll love

http://thesun.mobi/

But I'm sure you already follow it.

[defendandprotect]

24. Obviously, YOU love it -- !!

Don't judge others by your own behavior --

as they say!

[onestepforward]

10. That's what I do too

I did have a lot of fun tweeting when the #fuckyouwashington happened a few months ago :evilgrin:

[leveymg]

5. Both are a complete waste of time for serious political discussion

Twitter may be useful for flash mobs, and facebook is0 a homepage for a lot of people, but neither will ever replace political boards like du.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. Absolutely. I don't use for serious depth - really more breaking news, and some links to more

substantive info. Also immediate reactions (which of course often need to be taken with a grain of salt)

[EFerrari]

18. Twitter is the best for breaking news.

If you read the right people, you can sometimes get the news before the outlets do. Twitter also doesn't filter the way google does, based on your profile. If you ask it for X, it will give that to you in search results. Or, it does right now anyway.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

7. I would join in on the poll but the pop-up advertisement is in the way.

I post on facebook.

[trueblue2007]

11. i am on facebook

[Tunkamerica]

12. g+ sometimes

[shanti]

14. used to do facebook, and also twitter

but post on neither due to privacy issues. i totally canceled fb, and never post on twitter (under a pseudonym). the only reason to be a member of either one is to follow family members, nothing else, imo.

[defendandprotect]

25. Can see the "privacy" issues with facebook -- but isn't everything including DU now

being picked up ???


Can also see the "family" stuff being a problem to make available to everyone on

Facebook --

but twitter seems a bit different?

[Blue_In_AK]

16. I haven't "always" posted on Facebook,

but I do now and then. I don't tweet. Mostly I read Facebook to keep up with my family in the Lower 48.

[DesertFlower]

17. i've been posting on facebook since

december '08.

[riverwalker]

19. don't Tweet myself, just read others

for breaking news. Twitter usually beats CNN and wire services on breaking news by HOURS, it's amazing. Of course you have to use discretion, know who is credible, etc.
I NEVER do Facebook, except once I had to for latest strike updates from my union. After that, deleted account and never returned, and never will. <shudder> Hated it.

[LWolf]

20. I've never twittered. But then, I strongly discourage anyone sending me a text,

and the only texts I send are photos.

FB...I'm there in a small way, mainly to keep up with my son, friends and acquaintances who don't live in my area, that I don't get to see often. I follow a few political groups there, but most of my few posts are personal.

[sandyd921]

21. Post on both but prefer Twitter

Facebook tends to be family and my circle of acquaintances who generally don't have my interests in left/progressive politics. On Twitter I have cultivated a large number of like-minded people to interact with.

I tweet as kittiegrl on Twitter.

[City Lights]

23. I post on Farcebook, but never anything political.

I don't tweet.

[MrSlayer]

27. Actually haven't been posting anywhere lately.

I have a severe Skyrim addiction.

[tabbycat31]

28. I am on FB

but don't post very much. Since I work in politics, a lot of my friends on there are various VIPs in the political scene.

I don't want to post something that is going to bite me down the road.

[defendandprotect]

29. Interesting -- about 60% of 117 responding have experience with Twitter and/or Face book -- !!
