According to Mizuko Ito and Howard Rheingold's research, we typically don't telecocoon with more than four or five people. Why would you want to telecocoon with strangers? It makes no sense to me.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

same reason you blog, or write comments on news.yc = self expression

this could be funny things you've just seen your state of mind an announcement a statement of emotion

also twitter allows you to have public or private interactions - so your outside twitter may be something different to strangers compared to close friends. Twitter is an extension of our human desire to express ourselves through communication. Its very interesting because of that.

Oh wow, I just made an account to check it out. This thing looks evil. I'm staying as far away as possible.
