I am 29- I hadnt heard of Tumblr until now, so I am probably not a good person to comment!
i dont do twitter
I dip into various forums but this one seems the best IMHO(i dont say that on all forums :) )

Facebook is a gray area. I have it, I use it sometimes, but I am not its biggest fan, I keep thinning the 'friends' down, i think im down to around 30 and another may well be leaving soon- hes on a gap year in australia-i dont need half a dozen pictures a day showing how sunny it is there when its its raining in Lincolnshire England. There are a coule websites that i 'like' -sweepinghand and Heuerheritage and thats handy to see what they have.

I think that due to me having access throughout the day to the internet, i dont really need the other bits so much.

hope this helps

: We have done this previously, but it seems like it’s about time
: to ask our readers about their use of social media to pursue
: their interest in vintage watches.

: The question: Which social media sites do you find most
: useful to support your interest in vintage watches? How do you
: use these media?

: My answer, as follows:

: Twitter – I absolutely love Twitter. I post messages on
: Twitter to announce new content OnTheDash and to let followers
: know about other interesting things that I find re vintage
: watches – blog postings, articles, watches listed for sale,
: discussion forum postings, etc. Messages are limited to 140
: characters, so it takes very little time to post. I follow lots
: of folks who post on watches, sports and corporate governance.
: Best thing about Twitter – posting is quick and simple, and
: there is always something good to read on my favorite topics.
: Twitter is here to stay; so sign up and start following the
: vintage watch enthusiasts!

: Tumblr – I just signed up for Tumblr a few days ago, and I
: am really liking it so far. [For those of you who are not
: familiar with it, think of Tumblr as a very simple blog, in
: which you can post photos, messages, videos, etc. You can post
: your own content, and you can also incorporate (re-blog) other
: interesting things that you find, which makes them display in
: your blog.]

: People use Tumblr for all sorts of content. My plan is to use
: Tumblr to post photos of interesting watches, maybe something
: like a “Heuer of the Day”. It’s quick and easy to use, and
: there seems to be a good community focused on watches (as well
: as fashion, generally). Have a look here --
: http://onthedash.tumblr.com/

: I should add that there are a lot of lifestyle blogs on Tumblr.
: “Fashion” and “vintage” are the third and fourth most
: popular tags on Tumblr right now; “Tatttos” comes in at
: Number 11. Yes, it’s amazing that trying to follow vintage
: watches on Tumblr will take you to blogs loaded with cars,
: planes, boats, guns, fancy houses, and – lest we forget --
: women. If you are checking your Tumblr dashboard at the office,
: you may want to close the door, before you click the link
: provided by a stranger. Still, there seems to be a vintage watch
: community on Tumblr; it will be interesting to see how it
: develops. The jury is still out; not sure whether it will be
: worth the effort, but interesting to see and learn about Tumblr.

: Other Discussion Forums – Chronocentric is home sweet
: home; especially happy with the recent activity on ChronoTrader
: . . . lots of great watches being sold. I have been enjoying
: TZ-UK lately – huge volume of postings, good bunch of guys
: [well, maybe most of them] and good interest in and support for
: the vintage Heuers. TimeZone – I check the Public Forum once
: in a while; their Heuer / TAG Heuer forum is just about dead
: (fewer than 10 threads in the month of February). I visit other
: forums when people send me links to interesting discussions, but
: these three – Chronocentric, TZ-UK and TimeZone -- are the
: only ones that I visit regularly, on my own initiative.

: Flickr / Photosharing -- I use Flickr for posting batches of
: photos for events – school plays, sporting events,
: graduations, weddings, etc. – but have not really used it as a
: social media. Yes, there are great pools of photos, and amazing
: photos of just about everything, but for some reason, Flickr has
: just not been part of my daily routine. I am interested to hear
: how others use Flickr.

: What About Facebook? I don’t use it for vintage watches or
: my personal life . . . no principled reason or objection, it’s
: just that I have never wanted another place to check / another
: page to maintain. So, yes, I am on course to be the last person
: in the world who is not “on Facebook”.

: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

: OK . . . so those are my current views on the social media . . . I
: will be very interested to hear about the social media that our
: readers enjoy.

: Thanks,

: Jeff
