Are there folks out there who might like to tweet, Facebook, etc. photos or comments from RFF? Am I even phrasing the question correctly?
 
I wouldn't mind. Great way to share interesting threads/posts and it could bring Stephen some more traffic in the long run.
 
This is good enough, thanks.
If this forum goes the way of Facebook and the like, I'll be unsubscribing
 
As a boring old fart I don't even know what "social media" are... Seriously, don't have an account at any of them and no interest at all in getting one.
 
Like Segedi - this is my social media. To be more sociable than this, I would probably require counselling.
 
Just say No!

Do not need facebook, twitter, or anything else.

RFF by itself is more then enough, adding social media would just drive users away. JMHO
 
I like this the way it is. But it is only recently, in my defence in a discussion with a young person, I realized that thanks to RFF I am indeed already engaged in social media. Or a social medium.
 
I don't see the point, the stuff I write here is irrelevant to the people on my Facebook page, even the photographers who follow my work there, because our RFF posts are part of conversations here that would not make sense seeing posts outside of the context of the threads they are part of.
 
On FB I am the admin of a Rolleiflex User Group and a Leica User Group. We share some shots (much easier to do than sharing them here), have some conversations on photography.

The groups are free for anyone to join, and once you are a member you can invite other Leica or Rolleiflex users too!

Sign up if you like, and if you don't, then don't!;)
 
Personally no, but it is fairly certain that any new rangefinder or film users will be using social media. You know all those people asking "Can you still get film for that?" -- well they would almost certainly be social media users. If those media could be the hook that collects new film and RF users, then it might be worthwhile.

However, it would also be time consuming to set up and administer. There is too much traffic here to post every comment, and resize (that could be automatic I suppose) then post every picture - so what criteria would you use to filter, or choose, the traffic which goes over to the other media? Not a project to be taken on lightly, but it could be worthwhile if we as a group don't want to become gradually extinct.

Ilfordphoto have a Facebook presence, so do Leica etc. etc. Just because RFF is not a commercial entity doesn't mean that Cameraquest would not benefit from more exposure and awareness . . .

Edit: I am assuming that the OPs question was meaning social-media in addition to web browser, not in place of the site as it now is.
