My point is not intended to annoy but to point out that artists have the tendency now to think that without social networking they will not be able to spread their creations. This is not really true, people who spend a lot of time on these networks are not the most likely audience for a writer anyway. Maybe Twitter is more difficult to abstain from and still spread the word, although there's still other options. It may sound very old fashioned, but mailinglists and phpBB forums still are a great way for an artist to communicate with his followers. Still does the trick equally efficiently as more recently developed social networks. Old school sometimes still serves the purpose as good as all the new stuff
