Your post made me realize that very few social networks have a robust "group" feature. Facebook Groups seems designed for people to create one easily, but once they're made, most just languish there underutilized. Twitter doesn't have a groups feature yet. Perhaps the best implementation of groups are email-based ones like Yahoogroups. I still think there's an untapped opportunity to create a social network that has a well integrated group feature. Maybe an elegant mashup of Twitter + Meetup. ]]>

Nice post. I've been thinking about the differences between FB and LinkedIn a lot lately, and trying to put my finger on the reason why I've come to use FB a lot and LinkedIn hardly at all. Besides simply being more fun, I find Facebook useful. I wonder if I'll find Twitter to be more useful still, but I'm resisting the urge to start twittering...so far.

Nice meeting you today. Thanks for stopping by and digging through my archives far enough to find this one...
LinkedIn isn't much of a "place to go," other than to do ego and networking surfing. It is much more of an intermediary, and I think that has been its difficulty in relation to _places_ like Facebook or the virtual watercooler that is Twitter.
