But unlike email which hasn't really evolved, I think Twitter & co. have some evolving down the road that we'll see. For example, currently social media assumes that you have one identity outward facing to any and everybody. One side fits all. But the truth is that we manage many identities based on the different communities we interact with - family, church, work, friends, friends of friends, customers, bosses, alums, etc. Being transparent to all by default ain't the best route all the times. Facebook provides some level of control - although most don't use it nor know about it. Twitter ignores it. That's why some people have over a dozen different twitter accounts. That's not optimal. So I hope that we'll see some new features develop as we continue to learn how to best use and manage our social media platforms to connect with others. @Rich – Yes, it definitely feels like that.
