I'll confess: I want everyone's twitter id. (Can we add a field on the member profile form?)

There are people who I only see once a year (at conferences), but I'd like to get to know them better. There are people who live in the same town as I do, but we don't get to see each other all that often. By following them on Twitter, I can remain in touch with them and their lives. Recall the last time you asked someone you hadn't seen in a while "What's up?" or "How's things?". What did they say? Probably, "Oh, busy" and not too much else. Why? Because after 6-12 months of not being in touch, there's too much to say! Twitter breaks down that wall. It's use as IM or a virtual watercooler is a nice side-effect, but not the real value for me. -- Dan 1. disambiguity - » Ambient Intimacy<http://www.disambiguity.com/ambient-intimacy/> On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 3:38 PM, Tahsin Shamma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree that Twitter has little real value besides replicating in web form > what people have already done over IM. > > I am also very skeptical of the need for something like this.
