I have never bothered with Facebook. I have a twitter account purely in order to post links to professional journals / blogs and articles, as twitter seems the way to bring things to the attention of those you wish to inform these days.

In fact, now I have changed my car and therefore not on the Jag owners club equivalent of Mudcat, this is the only thing I post to.

Mind you, I have stopped posting in my real name, as I was googled for work purposes and they saw links to my personal waffle and diatribe on politics, religion, sex and the definition of folk music (!)

My responsible adult is on Facebook though and it still catches me out when a friend I haven't seen for ages says my dog looked like he was having fun in The Yorkshire Dales the other week.....
