i'm going out on a limb and saying "telephone number" for those whom have replaced most/all IM clients with text messaging, so long as its optional i can't see people getting heartburn over it. i'd wager most everyone is on unlimited text plans at this point too so you don't have scenarios where people are more than "slightly annoyed" at all the texts they receive

plus it would open up folks to getting wildly inappropriate telephone calls to be broadcasted for the world to hear

also when the world ends, it will be me and a pornbot left on AIM

I use all the forms of social media. Each new medium, more intrusive and scammy than the last.

The trick to managing it all is to have no friends hassling you.

Steam, PSN/Xbox stuff would be cool, I don't think Twitter or YouTube would be an issue, but Facebook/Google+/LinkedIn is too close to the fire, so to speak. Don't need to help people play internet detective.

Thank you Mr. Lowtax, sir.

Have tumblr but if anyone puts something in it, it bans them.

I just use facebook and occasionally twitter when I want to let steam off and say dumb things to people. I dunno, that'd probably cover 90% of people. I also have a youtube but it is shameful because i spend too much time watching teenagers yelling at videogames so I wouldn't use it.

We're changing the current user profile fields of ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, and Homepage (which nobody cares about) to something more current, so I was wondering what fields you guys wanted listed. Off the top of my head, I came up with:

* Steam
* Facebook
* Twitter
* Google Chat

Are those most of the things you guys use for social media? I'm going out on a limb here and assuming it's relatively safe to swap them with the ye olde ICQ and Yahoo poo poo.

I would say that pretty much covers it for all the larger mainstream communities. If you start adding outliers, you're gonna have a list a mile long.

EDIT: I guess if you're doing Steam for games, some people might like a Twitch field for LP poo poo.

I've friended a few random goons on steam, I guess. I use Facebook to talk to my elderly aunts, but I wouldn't link that to goons, their posts might give my poor 90 year old aunt the vapours.

Perhaps it might be more useful to use maybe 4 or 5 dropdown menus with many social media site options within so users can select their favourite backwards-rear end social network while also keeping the list of fields concise.

Steam, twitter and other.

I know a few goons irl, but I don't think I would want random goons adding me on facebook. seems like a disaster waiting to happen for idiots who don't know how to lock poo poo down or forget.

those goons that I do know are there already.

functionally SA is a (mostly) public discussion place - so I think social networks geared towards that are the go.

maybe 2 other fields.

other gaming platforms than steam would be a pain and probably require maintenance every few years.
