I've never understood the reasons for Twitter or, for that matter,
Facebook & Myspace social-networking sites. What are they? Are these

I am not sure I understand the idea behind Twitter either (though I
posted the info at the start of this thread). Facebook is of value at
least for staying connected to friends and family. Beyond that,
organising and so on, I don't know. I don't think Facebook is
transitory: there is a genuine need for an online resource for
individuals to share information, photographs, and so on. Facebook may
be a poor implementation, but the idea I think is here to stay.
My idea was for us to experiment with Identi.ca and see what sort of
transient information sharing is possible for groups using such a
service.
