Currently I use five social networks on a regular basis: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, SoundCloud, MixCloud, and Instagram. I sort of treat each of the social networks as if they are a language. I have many friends that I follow on multiple networks, but many seem to be active on only one of those accounts.
For people I have actually met in person, Facebook seems to be the melting pot. Almost every person I went to high school with now has an account and is at least somewhat active. The cool thing about this is that you can connect with almost anyone who you've come in contact with. There are obviously negative aspects to this ability, but it is nice to have a way for almost anyone to find and contact you, without having to give out location or phone number details. I tend to post a few times a day on Facebook. Lately, I have been sharing things from my family life and new music I have found. I tend to get the most response on photos that I have shared.
Twitter seems to be a network that a lot of my friends have joined and forgotten about. I find it fun to post on an alias account and as a business, but it has never really turned into a network where I share a lot of personal things. I will post pictures to this account from time to time, but they don't get as much response as they do from Facebook.
Google+ is my favorite feature-wise, but I don't use it as much as I'd like. I hope more of my friends and family try it out ;)
I find all of my music on SoundCloud and MixCloud and I share family photos on Instagram!
How do you use your social networks???
