Social Media platforms that I don't get.

I love social media, absolutely love it. I have a lot of accounts across them. But there are some forms that, I will admit, fucking mystify me.

- Twitter: I mean, I get it, but yet and all I don't. It's 140 characters and you have to express whatever you need to express within them. Some people can do that but I'm a wordy person. I have one? But its mainly just to follow people I like/random friends who get it more than me.

- Vine: I DON'T GET WHAT THE FUCKING POINT OF THIS IS! Is it like a shorter version of youtube? I've seen some really funny ones, don't get me wrong but the fact that its only 6 seconds long kind of irritates me or I'd like it a lot more.

- Kik: What. I can't. What even. This is like a different version of vine, right?

- Snapchat: Is that where you send pic-texts back and forth? No fucking thank you.

- Tumblr: I KIND OF GET IT. But ONLY KIND OF. I also get that supposedly 'nobody talks about tumblr' and yet people get thousands of likes for no apparent reason. I realize this is because of hashtags but I... don't get hashtags. :(

These things mystify me. I feel old now.

LMAO You and me both! Hashtags are just dumb, imho. If you're going to use something for archiving or marking something, like sorting a file, why not just use "&" or some other keyboard symbol that isn't as commonly used for things. Like "#" = NUMBER(S).
