Judging by the number of replies, I don't think anyone on here even noticed...

Pity it wasn't down for longer, people might then make an effort to talk to each other...

The number of times we have been in a restaurant, and see couples on their iphones, ipads etc texting other people, when in fact they could have had a discussion with their partner...

Frankly.......I refer you to my avatar....
The furthest I go down the road of social media, is this website/forum.
I can't be doing with these insidious 20th century phenomena, where folks seem more than happy, if not compelled, to share their every spot pimple and flaw with the rest of humanity........

I don't go in for that social media rubbish. I go on face book about twice a week just to see if any of my friends have messaged me, and when I say friends, I mean people I have actually met!
