First time I sat down by the computer and actually did something with it was in 2001 when I was 5 years old at my mother's work. I played a game called “Lines'98”. As time passed by my interests changed – not only games interested me from now on. In 2004 when I was 8 we already had a computer at home so when my cousin came over and showed me a social internet platform called one.lv. Back then it was the most popular site for russian speakers in Latvia to socialise and it was also my first experience with creating social identity. The fact that I did not speak any russian makes it all seem quite absurd today, but there were also some Latvians registered.
The same year Latvians came up with their own social site called draugiem.lv so I registered there and started to use it regularly.
From 2011 till now I am a registered user of Twitter.
I guess somewhere from 2011 till 2013 I used Tumblr as well.
In 2013 as I like to say I “deleted myself” (instead of “deleted my profile” since social media plays such a big role in our life today, of course if we let it) from draugiem.lv and switched only to Facebook. I'm still using it.
From 2013 till now I am a registered user of Instagram.
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are my main social media platforms that I use today.
Main reasons:
Facebook for me is to get in touch, network, get new information from my groups of interest.
Instagram to see how my friends are doing, get inspired from visual material.
Twitter to get satisfaction from smart, genius, laconic thoughts about any subject.
