Used to be that every Thai had it and used it (like Facebook). Are they still?

If not, what are they using now?

Hi5, then MySpace... now its all Facebook.

Took me a while to get that it is about "social media".

None of girls in the family uses Hi5.

All on LINE these days.

Even wife has it and does hour long video/audio chats to Germany,

The sister in law's family keeps contact to fathers and brothers in South Korea.

I followed some text chat in Thai and tried to decipher.

Full of typos (?) or slang(?).

And I am the Skype dino

But in the meantime I have LINE installed on my smarty and won so many new friends

It's childish, overloaded, confusing.

But who am I to argue.

P.S.: OF COURSE everyone has Facebook too.

An inevitable tool to copy school homework from one another.

Hi5 is dead. LINE is the trend since several years. Thais are mad about the stickers or emoticons sold to LINE users.

Our dog does it.

Our daughter taught her last week.

If you avoid FB and Line you can live a very relaxed life outside the madness of social media. I use Skype for long distance phone calls, I don't need a friend list to do that .

I still get the occasional emails from Hi5 reminding me that they haven't heard from me for the past 11 years or so.

Oh wow, that's a blast from the past, Hi5, I remember that!!
