What's your favorite social media platform and why? Has anyone tried Vine yet? What do you think?

To this point, it has been Facebook simply because I had to start somewhere.However, having recently started my own custom quilting business, I am looking more seriously at the potential for Pinterest and LinkedIn to expand my potential market.  Time will tell how things work out, though.

I checked out vine last night.  It was mostly teenagers goofing around.  Do you have any keywords you would recommend searching?  I found the silliest stuff under "Tutorials"

I don't know that there are key words I've found helpful - I follow artists, creatives and others in creative industries and then check out who they are following to add more.

Some good ones to follow to start with are:

AlisaBurke

CraftTestDummy

CraftyChica

Balzer Designs 

Bari J

Grace Bonney (Design Sponge)

Design Milk

Click on other followers and followees in the craft community check out their vine video to see if they appeal to you.

If you find some good ones to follow, please share them here!
