If you had to quit one social network, which would it be? This is my most-answered Facebook question ever posed with 57 people taking the time to register a vote.
Unfortunately for Pinterest, the newest platform of all is the one that folks say they would quit first, with 22 people singling it out.
Next comes the much-maligned Google+ with 14 people willing to leave it in the dust.

Four would shirk LinkedIn.
Three would leave …

By now most Twitter users have checked out the ‘new’ Twitter. It’s taken me a few days because I hardly ever use Twitter’s own platform; I rely on Tweetdeck and TweetCaster. So I was curious to see what everybody is talking about.

The influence list generally scored lower across the board. Is this because people are not at work as much in December? Or are they just distracted with all the holiday shenanigans? We welcome @suzemuze and @amandadegrace. We say goodbye to @TheStacey and @davidweedmark.
These lists are just as a bit …

Let me explain. In terms of Twitter’s site features and functions, blocking an individual follower does very little to stop him from seeing your updates. From Twitter’s FAQs:
