Social media - woot W00t!
social media fills a gap and satisfies a need that no other tool can. vs. TV, Newspaper, Phone Call, Email
It brings down boundaries between people that society automatically puts up.
On Twitter, for example, there is no stopping you from contacting your favorite actor or athlete.
You can pretty much count on the fact that they see your message. (its called egoism ... we all look at the @)
Yes, it is true that they will generally not reply, but that is simply because it would generate tons of busy work and other potential problems.
Athletes and actors are nice, but who really cares?
... the ability to find like minded friends regardless of your unique individual personality ... you can find 100s of friends just like-mind as you.
From there its about share discovery of Self-Discovery.
