Anything that is man made will eventually fail or have problems. I wish that someone would invent one social network and everyone had to use that same network. It’s so confusing when you get a message on facebook and you get an email to let you know that you have a facebook message and they your phone goes off to let you know that you got an email. I think we waste so much time trying to figure out the original source of contact and if we had one universal system we could probably get the older generation to join us.

I just want to say that I agree with what was mentioned by Alan and Barce : “The average non-tech user coming on to Twitter sees little value in following the tweets of strangers.”

This is very true. I’ve noticed a lot of the twitter accounts that are out there now are simply spam bots. It’s getting harder and harder to find genuine people who are actually interested in following your tweets. I’m not sure if everyone is having this same issue as me, but I feel like it has gotten progressively worse as time goes on. It seems that twitter has turned into more of a “broadcast” medium as you mentioned up in the article. Any feedback?
