bikeman564™ Posted February 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2020 I'd give up search engines. I like to see what my bike peeps are up to, and impromptu rides. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx Posted February 17, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 17, 2020 This and a drag racing group on the book of faces are my social media. Sad as it would make me I think I'd rather keep the search engines that I use for various bits of research. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 17, 2020 Share #8 Posted February 17, 2020 Social media....., in a heart beat. My only trips to the social media world are to see stuff from my kids and they normally text me what they post anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 17, 2020 Share #9 Posted February 17, 2020 I guess I'd keep social media, because then I could ask all of you to search terms for me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted February 17, 2020 Share #11 Posted February 17, 2020 And I don't think I understand the question as it sure doesn't make any sense. The two options are completely unrelated and to me, one of the main points of the internet is research which means without a search engine, the internet is pointless. Also social media wouldn't work as you would never find anyone without a search engine. So it's kind of like saying you have to give up one of two things, breathing or coffee. Pick one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far Posted February 17, 2020 Share #12 Posted February 17, 2020 Is this social media? Maybe asocial media? I'm not on the BookFace or Twaddle or InstaPuke or anything other than a little LinkedIn. It's that whole Witness Protection Program restriction thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is not social media. Social media is broader media, this is a tiny group of people who know each other well and is clearly outside of mainstream anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google is all ads now, and rarely is what you want found on the first couple of pages. I used to love google, now I think our interests our no longer aligned.
