Do Woodworkers Use Facebook, Twitter, etc? Help me out...

OK, you have a friend request from me.
I use Facebook. I have never looked at Twitter, though I might have to some day.
I don’t think having no friends makes you look like an idiot. Maybe it’s the hat. ;-)

-- Mel,

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I like my hat, but lately I’ve been letting Abraham Lincoln wear it. (In case anybody wonders who that guy hanging on my shop wall with the hat on is…)

I use Facebook quite a bit. Lots of fun people there for me and my family and friends too. It is hard to divide my personal from my professional, even though I have a professional page – so many woodworkers are also ‘friends’. I think it is a good way to network and get word out. Since I re-post my blog there, it brings more people to both my own site and also Lumberjocks. I know not everyone likes it, but I do! :)

You must be some sort of Superwoman, Scrollgirl. With your business, your website, your daily blog, etc… I try and make a sandwich and it takes me half a day, I could never fit all that in!

I have a FB, Twitter and MySpace account. I haven’t been to Twitter or MySpace in years. Facebook I am on more than I am here getting updates from my kids and grand kids.

Request sent and accepted now I’ll have to make a new category list for wood workers!

For Others, My Facebook page is here.

LOL! I train my cats to do most of it! I just sit around and watch TV and eat chocolates and tell them what to do. I use positive reinforcement (catnip) and they fall in line pretty quickly! :D

That sounds delicious!

I LOVE CATNIP! (You thought I was going to say I loved sitting around and eating chocolate, didn’t you…)

Maybe YOU can come and fill in for them sometime? I get the “good stuff” from British Columbia. They go bonkers!

Stumpy the way these large social networking sites are now it’s not hard to link them up. I use YouTube, Google+, Facebook, Twitter and StumbleUpon. I can post a video on YouTube then have most of them automatically linked to the original post. Google+ is the new thing. Last night a fellow woodworker – social net worker emailed me his woodworking circle. With 3 clicks I had networked with over 500 people. The more the merrier. So lets all be friends. And if the need arises and there is a genuine cause we can get the word out and be heard. Take Sheila I tweet, lj, and Google+ with her, I think I might even have her on Facebook.

I agree with Dave. They all integrate together. I still need to learn how to ‘tweet’ a bit more. I use that the least. I know those have to be short though and you all know how hard that is for me! LOL Still learning, but I like “meeting” and being friends with everyone. Woodworkers are great! :)

I don’t know anything about Google+ yet. Steve from Woodworking for Mere Mortals suggested it to me, but perhaps someone here can fill me in on it?

I have G+ but the only friends I have there are cousins.

Thanks for the Facebook ad!

I have a Facebook and Twitter account. I seldom use Facebook, and have never tweeted anything.

I use WordPress for my blog. The latest version added social networking, so I turned those functions on. Now if someone else wants to like, +1, tweet, or stumble upon one of my articles, the buttons are in place.

Yes I use FB a fair bit. I’ve linked (friended/liked) several woodworking sites such as LJs, Am Woodworker, etc.
