Here are some arguments: 1 Live events allow for a free-flowing dialogue, something that is simply not going to happen by email, in a forum or on Twitter. Why do you want to fix your learners to a particular date and time? Many learning activities, including role-plays, simply have to be live.

But however many blogs we subscribe to or Twitter feeds we follow, we're always in danger of playing safe, sticking with the people we already know all about. Serendipitous meetings are necessary because they stimulate thinking outside the box.

As a blogger I have evolved a definite publishing routine: I don't write about personal topics (glimpses into non-professional life can emerge through Facebook and Twitter).

Somewhat riskily, given the rate of change in this field and the inherent slowness of conventional book publishing, Jane deals at length with the opportunities provided by specific tools such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Ideally we will make this a permanent situation by deleting these people from our Facebook friends, un-following them from Twitter, unsubscribing from their blogs, or assigning their emails to the junk folder. That still leaves us with a lot of messages from sources that we value that we have to process in some way.

To the extent that they record a quick thought or point to another blog or resource, the chances are that this is now achieved using Twitter. If they merely record what a person is doing at any point in time, that activity will first have migrated to Facebook and other social networking sites and will be moving on again to Twitter.

" This may be the case, in which case those looking for more thrills might graduate to new media, perhaps Twitter. The article goes on to suggest that "gone is any sense that blogging as a technology is revolutionary, subversive or otherwise exalted, and this upsets some of its pioneers."

Practically all the responses are interesting because they are, at least for me, unexpectedly high, even Twitter down at the bottom with 12%.
