Reply #22: That in a nutshell is how I see Twitter [View All]

[Oak2004]

(Facebook, I use to post information about a server I manage, largely when it's down. I never expected to find community there, and I have not been disappointed).

Sometimes I wonder about the internet in general. Do I have "friends" when my "friends" are hundreds, even thousands, of miles away, and I've never seen them? Is it a "community" when it can't organize locally because it exists in no particular locality on earth? I continue to believe this is a powerful medium, but it will not achieve its potential until it finds a way to routinely bridge the virtual and the actual.
