Oh and shops. It's my favorite. More and more people that I haven't seen in 5+ years keep trying to follow me. No thanks!</p> <p>Anyone on Pinterest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200788 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 00:38:07 +0000 Kimberlybee 2200788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB is for family, old friends, and colleagues.</p> <p>Instagram, my fave right now, is for family that I like ;) and mommy friends that also post pics of their kids, interesting decor, recipes, or fur babies. I do also like to follow celebrity, workout and shopping feeds.</p> <p>Pinterest is for anyone, it's just resharing tips so nothing private at all.</p> <p>I am not active on Twitter, never hopped on that band wagon, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200640 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 19:56:23 +0000 MrsADS 2200640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB friends/family/acquaintances.</p> <p>Twitter I use just for "media consumption" - but I don't tweet anything, I just follow people. Good way to get headlines/updates for me. </p> <p>Pinterest I guess I don't care/notice - it's just recipes and stuff??</p> <p>I don't do IG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200613 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 19:19:00 +0000 namaste 2200613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone for IG, Pinterest, and Twitter. I blog so it makes no sense for it to be private.</p> <p>I let some blog/tech friends add me on FB as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200564 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 17:06:52 +0000 lemondrop 2200564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Facebook is for work, graduates, classmates, and family- I post a few kid or work things a week there. </p> <p>Instagram is my happy place, I keep it private, mostly just friends, including HB'ers that I recognize- and little to no family or work so I don't have to be as careful about what I say. It is one of my favorite things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200492 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 15:10:49 +0000 dc yoga bee 2200492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I have two people blocked on Pinterest.</p> <p>I let anyone follow me on Pinterest, and I rarely use Instagram. Facebook I have to know you to accept your friend request! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200403 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 13:54:26 +0000 avivoca 2200403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB is for friends and family. Private IG is for people I know and HB people. Public IG is for my sewing stuff. Pinterest and Twitter are open to anyone, and LinkedIn is kind of meh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200307 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 13:08:19 +0000 Mae 2200307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have twitter. I have pinterest but I rarely use it and didn't know I could even manage my followers. IG I have private although I will allow people I know OF to follow me (like, regular users here are fine, but not just random people). FB I only let people I actually know in person or have talked to for a while online friend me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200286 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 12:48:54 +0000 PurplePeony 2200286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use Pinterest.</p> <p>I have a Twitter account from way back when it was new, but I haven't logged on in years and don't even remember the password anymore. Same with IG, the app kept crashing my phone and I couldn't get my login to work on my computer so I just abandoned it. I'm not sure what my privacy settings are on either of these but since I had never posted much and it's all 4+ years old at this point, I don't really care.</p> <p>I don't really post to FB either, but I log on occasionally. I'll only add people I've met in person or "know" well from online communities. I'm thinking of seriously paring down to get rid of old classmates and other random folks, though, and making it just for actual friends and family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200208 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 11:09:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2200208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only Pinterest since there's nothing personal on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200182 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:52:56 +0000 ineebee 2200182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really use Pinterest or Twitter. For Facebook, I let friends and acquaintances follow. I'm pretty picky on Instagram, so I only let my closer friends follow me there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200164 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 10:33:30 +0000 kiddosc 2200164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinterest is open to anyone.</p> <p>Facebook is just people I know.</p> <p>Instagram is private, but I let a lot of HBers follow me, so this one is kind of a gray area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200058 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:54:20 +0000 808love 2200058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: whew! Someone challenged me on my PinTERest pronunciation yesterday. I told her that's how I learned to say it in London with the queen. But then I wondered...<br /> @mrs.lemon-lime I didn't either. This girl makes fun of everyone and everything. So I wanted to be right in this case. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200057 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:54:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2200057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Pintrest similar to the way I would say "interest rates", which is different than the way I would ask "what interests you?" I never thought about the pronunciation before. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200053 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:52:15 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2200053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: three syllables: pin-ter-est, sometimes if I am talking fast it comes out like pin-trest, but not usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200043 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:45:18 +0000 808love 2200043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some private boards on Pinterest so I guess I'm not completely public there either. By the way, hijacking my own thread because I am too lazy to make a new one...<br /> Do you pronounce it Pintrest or PintErest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200036 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:40:40 +0000 Adira 2200036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB is just family and friends.

I don't share pictures of my personal life there but just aspirations so I think it's safe to be public on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200034 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:38:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2200034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on Pinterest and Linkedin. Pinterest is fair game. With Linkedin I am a little more selective weeding out people/ industries that are irrelevant to my interests and pursuits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200032 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:37:31 +0000 Synchronicity 2200032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Facebook is only close friends and family, IG is friends and a few HBers. I don't use Twitter or Pinterest much anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200028 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:35:12 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2200028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instagram is very private - I think I only have 15 followers or so - only family and friends that I would actually call on the phone</p> <p>Facebook is a bit more open, but I have to have some connection with you, like I probably won't friend you if you just went to my high school and I knew who you were but we weren't friends, but if we danced on the dance team or had a class together and talked, I will likely friend you.<br /> No strangers, no co-workers, no friends-of-friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200026 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:32:26 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2200026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinterest – Anyone</p> <p>FB – Years ago my then boss friended me and Facebook lost its position as a place where I felt really comfortable. Also I really just don’t like Facebook. I post something maybe once every other month, if that much. I do participate a lot in groups, so there are people who I’ve met through groups that I have friended. If I don’t know you from a group or have a mutual friend or other connection, then I usually don’t friend. </p> <p>Twitter – I’m followed by a lot of corporate accounts such as hotels and restaurants because I blog about food and travel, so I tweet a lot about those things. My name is not attached to my account though. It’s just my initials. I love Twitter.</p> <p>I have an IG account that I don't use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2200007 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 08:16:32 +0000 Alivoo01 2200007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only people I know.

You can't block people in Punterest and anyone can follow you.</p> <p>I don't post anything on my FB wall.

Although I'm thinking of making a separate account for art that's public and a private personal one for pics of T. </p> <p>Twitter is open but it's the same situation as Instagram right now. </p> <p>Pinterest is open to whoever because I don't post anything personal there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2199938 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:29:41 +0000 petunia354 2199938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinterest is the only site where I let anyone follow me because I don't post any identifying info there, for the most part. IG and FB is for close friends, family and HB. Even then, I've had to filter some family out because they would share pictures or write weird comments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2199931 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:25:39 +0000 mrsjyw 2199931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB is for friends, family, HB/blog friends I've met in real life, and a handful of coworker friends.</p> <p>IG is for friends and HB friends.</p> <p>I'm not on Pinterest and Twitter anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2199930 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 07:24:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 2199930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB is for friends, family, and some acquaintances/coworkers.<br /> IG is for bees, and some friends and family (most people I know IRL don't use them)<br /> Pinterest is open.<br /> I don't do Twitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-private-are-you-on-various-social-media#post-2199851 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 06:16:30 +0000 hellobeeboston 2199851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FB is for friends, coworkers and acquaintances<br /> Insta is for good friends (and a few HBers ;)) only<br /> Pinterest is for everyone<br /> Twitter I'm barely active on so whatever </p>
