    I know a lot of us probably use this for mainly for communications or connecting to other people. If there are any other reasons, can you share the reason and the social media you're using?

    I mostly use social media for chatting with my friends and also chatting with my family members who are living abroad in the US, Canada, etc.
    I also use social media to know the latest trending topics.
    I use social media to promote my business and affiliate links as I am an internet marketer with great success.
    Most people learn about nature from social media.

    I use mostly use social media to talk to friends outside of school. I mostly use Instagram. My friends post images and videos that show up in my feed. The feed is like 'home'. It's the main thing you look at and it has all the photos and videos of all the people I follow. Anyway, I just scroll through the main feed and see what my friends are doing. It's a great way to pass the time. Maybe even a little to much time. I have to make sure I'm not spending too much time on it, but that's another story.

    Instagram also has 'Direct Messages' which is practically texting. I use this a lot. Instead of having to get all my friends phone numbers, I can just use Instagram to talk to them. They do have to have Instagram though. That's the only downfall. I still need the numbers of my friends that don't have Instagram.

    Instagram and other social media, in my opinion, is a great thing. It adds another dimension to being social and connected. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

    It depends on the platform, but I use social media the most to be social. Especially with Snapchat, I'm just sending out little conversations and bits of my life to the my inner circle of friends. With Instagram it's mostly to entertain me with memes and post my art for the world to see, but I also send cute animal posts and memes to my friends, which we then discuss in a social manner.

    Mainly, I use social media for posting and promoting my writing. The only social media that I use for personal entertainment is Pinterest; every other account that I have is centered around my writing. However, I do have a friend who uses Instagram to post her artwork, so I am often on there to look at her work and to have conversations with her.

    Most people nowadays turn to social media to connect with friends and communicate. With this powerful breakthrough, we are not limited with words only as the means to convey our messages, but we can use photos and videos as well.

    In addition to all that, I personally use social media to advertise and share interesting topics from my blog. This is a great way for me to gain the exposure I need for my business.

    Yes, I use social media to keep in touch with my friends & relatives. But other than that, I also use it to relieve myself from stress. As I scroll my news feed, I get to see positive videos or pictures. And this stuff somehow lightens my mood. There are also some negative things among the list, but I choose to ignore them.

    I use social media for various reasons. Firstly, I have a very large network of people whom I socialize with on social media platforms like WhattsApp, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other messaging applications like Messenger.

    I also use social media to market my online work and activities by making my professional profile readily available in the online internet platforms like LinkedIn.

    I have found it quite easy to seek out opportunities to work and invest by engaging in social media activities and platforms.

    Mostly for me the only reason why I have social media is to connect to my friends outside of school. I also really like to look at other peoples photos. Another thing I like to do on social media is to see what is trending to the people on this planet. Another cool thing on social media is to be able to know what is happening on the planet. Another thing is to see the beauty in nature.

    I use social medias to educate myself. To be updated with what is happening around me. Discover new ideas and trends.
    Connect with existing and new audiences in deeper ways. Bring attention and traffic to your work. Build, craft and enhance your brand. To keep in touch with my loved ones.

    Most of us enjoy communicating whether it is on Skype, Google+ hangouts or via a Twitter tweet. Some like it short and sweet others want to have a a good long chat. The ability to keep in touch is now global whether you want to do a video in your pajamas or hide behind an audio stream.

    I mostly use social media for conversing and staying in contact with family and friends. I also use it to keep track of the news and also somewhat for my online work. Aside from that, I also use it for memes and comedy stuff.

    That's really about it though. I don't use social media for anything else. Well maybe selling on Facebook marketplace, but that should be everything.

    I usually use social media to post my art - on Instagram and Twitter. I'm using it to promote my own art and hopefully get commissions, however the sense of community amongst people with a shared interest is really, really nice.

    For me, Social Media is everything. I was abandoned by my mother and father when I was a child. But later on, my mother found me through Facebook. We got to know each other only through Facebook. Hence social media has helped me personally in a different way. And I think I am one among the few who are benefitted out of Facebook. Now I connect with my family through Social Media. There is no other option to know the relationships because all my family members live in different countries.

    Hence Facebook is one that helped me in relating to my mother. Also, I use it to host the pages that I think are important.

    I am personally only connected to Twitter, Reddit and Facebook.
    But for me, especially with Facebook, I see my Timeline and About page as a way to store all of my Memories to be looked back on in the future.
    Facebook is me now and me then.

    Well I don't use social media a lot, I have a reddit account however my content is semi-fictionalized. You can't believe in every thing they tell you in the web, also you don't know who is watching you, so it is better to tell a good story, however a good story isn't exactly a real story. For instance I once told everyone in the web I was a gipsy, of course I am not, but it is funny to pretend you are someone you are not.
    Besides that I have Facebook and Twitter but I don't really use them, unless for messaging some friends, I really don't use social media at all, which is ironic because I lived half of my life in front of my computer....

    We can use social media for many uses. We could chat with our friends and relatives from any part of the world. Posting photos and videos and getting the reaction from our friends is quite an interesting feature in social media. Also we get news updates, study materials, play games, create pages of interest, build our profile, find new friends etc.

    But still there are many people who misuse social media for personal benefit. Otherwise it is a very good platform for people from every age group.

    Ever since I was a child, I've been using social media to communicate with my friends and loved ones. It is very important because I have many relatives who are very far away and the only way I could keep up with them is only through these social platforms. Nowadays, I use it to find available jobs so that I could have a source of income.

    Finding jobs is the most important part of Linked in for individuals, and you can use the network to track specific companies, people and job openings. Spend time getting to know, in detail, the search features that let you drill down into networks of people, companies and job postings.

    When you’re looking for a new job, numbers matter, so take time to build your network. But be sure to do it in a smart way: Blasting invitations at complete strangers in the hopes of connecting with either them or people they are connected with is not a good strategy. Instead, look for legitimate connections you have with people — your alma mater, for example — and reach out with an invitation to connect that includes a personal note.
