Social Media

[06 H3]

This was brought up on a Hummer social media page...

The fact that the younger generation is going away from forums and going to social media for their car needs. I think its stupid, IMO. Instagram is 1 picture and a caption, Facebook you can get a little bit more detail then Instagram but you are still limited. In my opinion you will always gain a lot more knowledge from a forum where you can openly discuss ideas, you aren't as limited by captions and single pictures. You can read a detailed build thread and see so much more...gain more knowledge and challenge others to progress ideas in an easier fashion

What's your thoughts?

Yeah I agree with you...plus even if u make a build guide for something would be really hard to dig it up after a while...since there's no search button. I see social media more like somewhere to show off my things and maybe get ideas but that's it...

Yea I agree on the lack of search! How many times I have seen who's done a motor swap on social media is ridiculous. I am now sending all questions to my thread on here. All questions people have are answered in my thread. They want extremely detailed responses over Facebook which will be non searchable and asked again in a week or two.

The only form of "social media" I think is equally as helpful as a forum, is YouTube. If someone has the knowledge base and can create video content showing "how to" do something I think it's great. But Facebook, Instagram, twitter and other forums of social media is just for showing off like Torres said.

Facebook sucks. I don't do Instagram. I will stay on the forums.

Not sure Facebook lurkers give a rats about linking to informative sites that answer their questions.

 

[06 H3]

They can go to the forum or not get the info they want. I'll provide the link...that's it

Best thing I ever did was delete my Facebook page! I would hate to see forums disappear. I have leaned so much about my vehicles over the years from forums. Hell I was able to get my window trim to quit making that Dammed noise from this forum, and I hope to learn more as time go by.

Yeah, FB has taken much of the traffic away from here.

 

[Panzer07]

One thing I "enjoy" about the social media answers on FB, etc. is how wrong are so many of the answers vs. how quickly people can get great answers here.

 

[06 H3]

Yea, I've read some stuff on there that just makes you shake your head

 

[LagunaH1]

Y'all are a bunch of Facebook haters ;-)

Plus, Facebook is for old farts like me. I'm told there are things called "Snapchat" and "kik" and other things..... but I could not care less.... I like this format.

 

[3Hummers]

Yes I am a Facebook hater and don't think they can change enough to convert me.

 

[rascole]

Myspace or nothing. :horns: FB is good for the quick picture and a caption. I have a very large extended family so it is a great way to stay somewhat in touch. But for detailed info, forums are the best.
