I am not sure I understand the idea behind Twitter either (though I  
posted the info at the start of this thread). Facebook is of value at  
least for staying connected to friends and family. Beyond that,  
organising and so on, I don't know. I don't think Facebook is  
transitory: there is a genuine need for an online resource for  
individuals to share information, photographs, and so on. Facebook may  
be a poor implementation, but the idea I think is here to stay.

My idea was for us to experiment with Identi.ca and see what sort of  
transient information sharing is possible for groups using such a  
service.
