What facebook is for anyways? Why should anyone care? I find it becoming more and more boring, useless - and, from my experience, people tend to go there less and less. - Photos here and there - Random links/videos scooped around the net - Rants/statuses nobody cares about - Passive activism where people "join a group"/like something and do nothing about it - Farmville It is boring, really. I found twitter, recently, of immense use in two fields. First, around the industry bunch of professionals connected themselves even without knowing each other beforehand and openly discussing stuff and sharing ideas. (notably game dev). Also, have you seen stocktwits? If they can find a system to filter out the noise... excellent! I have an idea though, if they could somehow pool calls from regular users and "analysts" and compare them to a weighted random generator and post stats next to each user that would be great.
