I cancelled my account last week.  I left Twitter for two reasons:  1) Engagement - The only likes or replies I would ever get were from the same four people.  These people are very close to me in my personal life and I can just text them when I want to; and 2) The annoying adds that popped into my feed.  The biggest thing I will miss is my username:  davidcmorris.  I know I won’t be able to get that back.

I left FB almost two years ago.  I didn’t miss it at all because I was already sick of their service (and company, leadership, etc.).  Not the same with Twitter.  I do miss it a bit.  Especially the News.  However, I can get that elsewhere and since I’ve deleted my account, I find myself reading from my Kindle app more and taking Spanish lessons on Duo Lingo.

So, I’m almost entirely off of Social Media.  I have a LinkedIn Account if that counts.  I think that platform has so much potential, but currently is quite terrible.  Engagement and interaction there is just as bad as FB.  However, I do like to see my more distant friends and colleagues get new or change jobs.  And I tend to hire a lot of folks, so I like to endorse and market our current job openings.
