To be honest, I can’t understand what use people get out of it, except for the whole find-people-I-haven’t-spoken-to-in-10-years thing. And in my case, there is probably a reason I haven’t spoken to them in 10 years ;)

What’s your use case, Alex? Why do you value it? That’s what I always want to know when I hear folks talk about it.

He wraps it by saying that in 2008 we’ll all realize that the most important voice in the internet is our own, and not that of all of the idiots we are following.

I try to avoid following idiots, but I agree, the power of social media is the power of our own voice.
