One of the issues I notice whenever a new social network launches is that what matters with social networks isn't the technology: It's the people.
An social network is like a children's playground. It can contain the most cleverly designed play equipment, but it's the fun that children have that matters - in terms of social media that fun requires other people.
Today's dispatch from the land of the Twitter-exiles is a feeling of disconnect from the friends that I use twitter to connect to. The people I can't ask about south african Syndol or tell that Im 99% through to being a student again in March - my reflective essay passed.
Social media allows friends to connect when distance would have previously made this impossible.
