been seeing this from a few people that the IC is boring and that they like other forms of social media better.

Me personally, this place trumps all of those b/c there are practically no restrictions. You can get meaningful conversations with folks here as well as some fuckery mixed in between

Twitter: I like twitter b/c you can get real time sports info, you can actually connect with certain entertainers/artists, companies in a way you could never do before, etc..

but Twitter isnt meant to have deep, meaningful conversation. You get 140 characters for a reason. I've seen so many people have multiple tweets to give their pov and its just not made for that imo

Facebook: This is just a cesspool of ? ? and terrible memes. This ? stopped being fun when they opened it up to everybody instead of keeping it to just people who had college email addresses.

Instagram: this appears to be a platforms for poor ? making rich decisions and thots in training. I'm sure there are some legitimate folks out there and probably make a practical use for it, but all i ever see are collages of duck face pics and ? ? . All i keep hearing is "yo...follow me on instagram"

Snapchat, kik, etc...: not that familiar with it to give an opinion on it

what are your thoughts IC? (mods move this if you think you need to)

    personally, i think twitter is the best for obvious reasons:

    -real time information as it happens
    -interaction with damn near ANYBODY
    -exclusive music
    -unfiltered
    -various personalities
    -jokes on jokes on jokes in real time


    message boards are cool. ive been on them since i was like 14. they all pretty much flow the same way.

    The IC is the best because of the Management. Sportsheads have their forum, poets too etc...

    You wont be bothered evry five minutes with a I LOVE ? post in the football thread for example.

    I dont even want to open my Facebook with these ocean of unnessasary and ill managed Infos.

    If you can't find a section on this site that would gain your interest, then I don't know what to tell you. There is literally something for everyone on here.
    My only gripe is nudes. Yeah yeah it's just an extra click with the spoiler. Tumblr is the best for that btw.
    Facebook - I just have it because some of my fam is on there and I see what's going on with my high school and college.
    Instagram - Not really on there as much. My girl hit me one morning and screenshot all the ass, porn pages I was following. Like really? This is who we follow now.
    Twitter - Yeah you get that real time information but I really just use it to lurk other people's pictures and ? and of course well porn.

    i was really hoping Google+ was gonna take off.

    I dont think even Google knows whats its trying to do in the social media space, but it has great potential imo

    good question. Im sure they get a nice stack of coin from ads, and they can even make the app have ads or provide a pay version thats ad free.
