I've been studying and participating in Web 2.0 social activities for the past 3 years or so to some degree. Most of the time I see the benefits of this movement, but I have to say, Who gives a shit what people are doing in micro-snippets of information. Why are trivial activities interesting? Is it voyeuristic? Do people rank their coolness by what others, whom they admire or emulate, are up to? Twitter is ridiculous and to me signifies virtual, social activities have jumped the shark.
