Whether you are constantly updating your status and checking out what your friends are up to on Facebook, Tweeting interesting news stories on Twitter, or planning for your dream home on Pinterest, every social media site has a loyal following.  We asked our Linhart Public Relations team to share their favorite sites and/or brands they follow and why:

Dawn Doty: “My fav is Facebook – it’s a great way to stay connected to people whom I’d love to see every day – dear family and friends – but don’t because not many of them live in Colorado. With Facebook, I get to see photos of my nieces and nephews and hear fun, quirky day-to-day stories that Facebook makes it easy to share.

In addition to following all of our clients, I follow some of my passion brands – Graeter’s (the best ice cream in the world) and Ben & Jerry’s. Hmmm. On second thought, maybe I should start to follow my gym’s page given my ice cream obsession!”

Kat Buxton: “My social media flavor of the month is currently Pinterest – big surprise! Why, you may ask? Well, the obvious reasons – I’m planning to start planning (ha!) my wedding soon and have started scouring the internet for inspiration and ideas for budget friendly and creative nuptials. Also, embarking on the journey of home ownership in the not so distant future has encouraged me to start thinking about how to organize and decorate a more personal and permanent space.”

Ashley Frost: “My favorite is Facebook and my top brand to follow would be Glee because they post performances before the new episode runs. Total Gleek.”

Noel Runkle: “I love Twitter. It’s my constant stream of what’s going on in the world and it works really well on my computer, my phone and my tablet. It’s incredible how much 140 characters can say and how much I have come to rely on Twitter in my everyday life.”

Kelly Williams: “My favorite channel is definitely Pinterest. I have eight boards including recipes, clothes that I like, projects I want to make and decorations for my house. I love getting to plan things before I do them so Pinterest is a great way to plan what you want to wear, what you want your bedroom to look like, or even what craft you want to do. I love following Lauren Conrad because she is a great personal stylist and I love recreating her ideas.”

Quinn Kelsey: “Facebook. It’s not always the perfect choice as a strategic tool, but for me, it’s just a classic. I’ve moved around a lot—from South Dakota to Italy to Missouri to finally Colorado—so I have friends from all over. It’s a great way to stay in touch with them.”

What are your favorite social media sites and why?
