I’ve taken to Twitter like a duck to water. Its simplicity allows the user to customize the experience with relatively little input from the Twitter entity itself. I hope they keep it simple. It works because it’s simple. I was never interested in Facebook or MySpace because the environment seemed too top-down mediated. They feel like malls to me. But Twitter actually feels like the street. You can bump into anybody on Twitter.

    I have seen people use Twitter to help build Learning Networks. However, I’ve had more success on Tumblr.

    Amazingly true! So often we get caught in the complexity of life we truly forget to marvel at the simplicity in place...
