What type of information do you tend to share over social media?

Shannon Tesseyre Mom and wine assistant I’ve actually been trying to get off of all social media because I find it is so large- ly unproductive. But when I do share, it is usually pictures of my children so that out-of-town family and friends get to see them growing up. I never share anything political or anything negative.

Guilhen Tesseyre Engineer Honestly, I don’t share anything at all over social media. I don’t need everyone knowing my personal business. But I do monitor a few different social media sites because I am often curious to know what other people are up to.
