But I agree in one thing, there is a real benefits in getting good informations on diversified subjects.

You're not stating explicitly that it's the fact there's an avatar, but it's the shared experience that give rise to conversation. <br><br>So it's still context-related, but not in the sense I meant initially. Whoops! <br><br>:) Hi there, I re-read the post and I guess I understand it differently now.

So it's still context-related, but not in the sense I meant initially. Whoops!

Unfortunately, I think this is the way things are going.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a tweet every now and again, but it does seem to be so quick and informal that I don't really feel like I'm building a relationship or forging a connection. Really I'm just passing the time. That being said, I have met a follower or two that seem interested in engaging in actual conversation. At least it's enough to keep me coming back for more.
