So, could you manage without Facebook and/or Twitter?

[RHB]

I’m not a big user of either, more of a lurker in the background when certain stuff is pointed out to me to look at. So how integral are they to your everyday life? Could you exist without them if they got turned off for security reasons, or something similar, as part of measures introduced after Paris?

Like them both, could survive without Facebook and would choose Twitter out of the two. Better for keeping up to date with news and things, Facebook is more of a boredom cure and random browsing.

Same with me. Flirted with sacking off Facebook because it can be quite annoying, but I have too many close family and friends on it and it is a good way to keep in touch.

I could easily cope.

Mumsnet on the other hand......

Twitter is great. Facebook is losing its appeal.

Facebook is a necessary evil for me to keep in touch with friends and family, especially living so far away.

Much more of a Twitter fan though, but could I live without it? Absolutely. Surely anyone could if they had to?

I use both FB and Twitter to promote my music, but not for anything else. I used to use FB for staying in touch with friends/family but recently cocked it off as more often than not it left me feeling angry.

Can't comment on twitter but I was vocally Mr Anti FB before I emigrated. My love of FB waxes and wanes and I went 7 months this year without posting but messenger has proved invaluable as an alternative to Skype, Hangouts and all the other various Video conf media out there. Oh and the football team I play for does everything on FB and whatsapp.

FB can get irksome at times.

I love twitter, literally never off it, Use to use Facebook but not so much now.

Like most others use FB to keep in touch with family both here & abroad, and Twitter for news/SUFC updates.
