People share links and information they have found and I follow what looks interesting and pass it on. While the snipits are short they do connect us. The challenge is in then moving on to something/sometime else to develop the deeper relationships. If you follow someone on twitter and you meet at a conference - you have a connection that can then be developed deeper. You find someone you disagree with - you can move on to a different tool - like a blog to develop those ideas deeper. Twitter is a stepping stone - a tool to be used for one part and certainly not the entire stairs to relationships. On a day to day basis it is fun to connect in a short easy way to share the little pieces of the day. Sometimes those little pieces are what life is really about. They build up to the big pieces.

I think this backwards pressure from online apps to the real world is rather under-researched. Let's take Flickr as a (good) example. The very act of sharing photos online makes hitherto casual photographers much more active. They begin to think about photos they can take to upload, they join groups (like 366 photos) that encourage them to take particular photos, etc. The online environment has an impact in their real world life. And with blogging, I particularly noticed at the start that I often sat in conferences or meetings thinking about the blog post I would write. This was generally good - it made me more reflective. Like you, I often think about the witty, pithy Twitter post I would write about something. Maybe, as you suggest, this isn't always good. But I think it's a sign of Twitter settling in to my mental repertoire of expression, like blogging. I kind of know what you mean D’Arcy - I started _dreaming_ in Twitter a while back.
