Maybe now in 2008, we're realizing the value in *some* lines by way of either being overwhelmed or bored with incoming interactions.

I found this post in my Twitter stream after adding you after a very brief introduction at the Pownce meet up in LA last weekend. The thing about twitter and even better, Pownce, is that we are now able to connect with people across geographies, demographics and time in ways never before available. In other words, through some loose connection of something like "shared interests in innovation" one can meet likeminded people across the world who share these interests. I also don't add random people on facebook, because facebook is like a "book of friends in the real world" and linkedin only includes "professional connections". I think these new tools that push the envelope of social interactions create cool possibilities for learning and interacting. Or at least it is worth a shot experimenting with. THX for the post.
