For me I using Facebook everyday.

I use several social networks for business and private purposes... LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr and Google+... LinkedIn is really business network and I strongly recomed it. Other networks you can use for both purposes... Facebook and Twitter definitely but do not forget on Instagram and specially on Pinterest...

All these networks have their special characteristics and my recommendation is that you think about all/some of them...

Dear Dr. Ali Benhmidene , it is an interesting issue. Utilization of social medias has both positive and negative impacts. But what is important is to screen the appropriate ones that can fit for our utilization. As a researcher, I need to gather several information from different sources and communicate relevant information to others via

• Facebook
• YouTube
• Instagram
• Research gate
• Twitter
• Qzone
• Weibo
• Google+
• Meetup
• LinkedIn
• etc

I dont fb but Im on twitter, linkedIn and yes I communicate my research interests there

the facebook and linked in social media are the best choise after researchgate.

Interesting question. I use Facebook every day.In addition to the communication with friends, it is a source for scientific, cultural and politics information.

Hi,

Yes, I do why not, social media is useful in many ways and interesting for scientific or not uses.

I rarely use FB and others except RG. Everyday I spend some time on RG, since it is nice to participate in good discussion among worthy colleagues.

Thanks

LinkedIn is useful for networking with professionals. Facebook is also helping in connecting with people. Social media is useful in increasing connectivity with professionals.

I using several social media like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google to build contacts as well as to collect new information.

No, as a researcher I only use ResearchGate.

Thanks dear colleagues for your contribution of the discussion

Facebook with friends and for cultural /historical information.

For me; I used Facebook to reduce stress and life a happy moments

in my free time.

BR.

As a researcher I am rarely using the social network like twiter, Linkedline or facebook for research purposes. Will try to explore social media for research purposes.

I am mostly connected to researchgate. However, LinkedIn and Facebook are also my other options because writing has become a very inevitable part of my life and these social networks help me to write and stay in touch with the intellectual world.

yes social media connects you and makes you aware of the world around you. researcher will not prefer to live in isolation, they are human being so they like to be social, but there should be limited use of social media. excess of use of social media is poisonous.

From time to time yes, I do use facebook.

Real time

Yes, I do. I use Facebook, Tweeter, Whatsapp, and Linkiden.
