This was going to be my comment. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 13, 09:16
Seriously. It's the most widely used thing out there that I completely don't get. -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 09:13 15
- I think that people don't understand that it's not just a "what are you doing" site. - Callisto Jul 13, 09:21
- I really don't think it's as widely used as the media has led us to believe. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 13, 09:17 12
  - disagree, I think the media is helping create it and make it that widely used. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 09:17 11
    - I think the media is giving it a temporary boost. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 13, 09:23 2
      - I think it's as temporary as email was. (IOW not at all) -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 09:25 1
        
        Fine then. I honestly don't care enough about the topic to continue the discussion. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 13, 09:27
    - Yep. it's grown 1000 percent over the last year and is continuing to explode. -- nm - Callisto Jul 13, 09:19 7
      - And most of the new joiners are gone a month later. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 13, 09:23 1
        
        The 1000% increase isn't a measurement of new joiners. It's a measurement of traffic. -- nm - Callisto Jul 13, 09:24
      - IMO the speed and simplicity is the key. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 09:22 4
        
        Yes, and once they get their search where it needs to be (their current project), it will really be valuable. - Callisto Jul 13, 09:23 3
        
        same here re: your IM. for me, I need to somehow filter it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 09:24 2
        
        Yeah, TweetDeck is great in concept for the filtering aspect, but it's a resource hog. -- nm - Callisto Jul 13, 09:27 1
        
        right now it's a firehose of info. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 09:28
- ironically, it seems that people in our age group are the heaviest users. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 09:14
