My hope is that the Twitter environment does not get deluged with tons of ad-bots. I am already getting tons of MLM people adding me just so that they get a ton of new followers for their pitch. <br>This is a poor use of SM. Super article!

Mike, thank you for sharing with us the way you paint your social canvas.

All of these options for social connection are a wonderful addition to our life. Eventually we will develop a multitude of small niche networks that are inspired by the success of these massive network systems.

It's still not clear to me that Twitter won't be the next pet rock or Livestrong bracelet, but it is clear that social networking in general isn't going away. The issues you describe won't either, because they are not technology driven so much as human nature driven. Technology usually magnifies certain aspects of human nature rather than changing it. Social networking in a lot of ways gives people at least the illusion of control, and for many, even the illusion is very powerful.<br><br>BTW, if you really want to build one-to-one relationships, I'd strongly encourage putting your e-mail and phone number directly on your "contact" page. The e-mail can be entered in ways that spammers can't scrape it. Your phone will not ring non-stop, and your e-mail box won't overflow, but over time you will build some good relationships by doing so. Nice post, Mike.
