For me there’s candy, and dinner in life. Neither is better than the other, but candy is certainly simpler and more instant in its gratification. I’d say sitting down and hashing real stuff out with people (real people) is more like dinner. It feeds, it nourishes, it is interesting and varied. But candy sure can make things a little sweeter for a minute. For me Twitter is cybercandy. I don’t try to make it more important than that.

I completely agree. I get much more out of face to face conversation than anything else. Even email and IM rank very low as my preferred methods of conversation. Most of the time, if it is something I really want/need to talk about, I ask if I can call or meet. Thanks for articulating some of the thoughts I have been having the past two weeks.

speaking of, I’ll be back in Kansas next month and we should down copious amounts of something. I like Twitter because it let’s me know my friends are alive and doing inteersting things, but they’re friends, not “friends” and there are a few real life friends that I’ve had to twitter-unfriend because they’re a little *too* twittery.
