I believe that Twitter fits seasoned internauts (coder, blogger) while Facebook is better for socnet novice (abege, senior, reuni). That’s why Twitter is not a good place for learning. Twitter is for grokking, for contextual communications. If you still need to learn, to link systematically, to easily gather information, Facebook might be for you. Even though, I would suggest you to blog rather than spending your time for Facebook.

Hotmail used to be spelled HoTMaiL. The letters HTML was capitalized to emphasize its innovation of bringing email to web. I was lucky to be a beta user, using koen@hotmail.com as my address. But it was mid 1990s. Unlimited access and mobile Internet were nonexistent. Also Hotmail had not had spam blocker. Spams exceeded mail, and I abandoned the account. After Microsoft acquired it, they assign many domains to that service. I open a new account, kuncoro@live.it, for socnet trash (a.k.a. notification) from Facebook, Twitter, etc. Apparently, my currently non-western name, unusual domain, and better spam blocker, could significantly reduce spams.
I use both koen@ and kuncoro@ for many accounts. For Nokia’s Ovi, I’m using koen@, while for Apple’s Me, I’m using kuncoro@. Apple prohibits short username for Me. For YM, I use koen@ymail.com (not yahoo.com — it has been taken a decade ago).
Kuncoro is also my url for both Twitter and Yahoo. -

I’ve tried it a bit on January. But this weeks I installed it for almost all WPMU sites I managed. BuddyPress. It now runs blog.telkom.co.id (intranet), telkom.us, santri-indigo.com, and bagimuguru.com. Not bad for small-scale socnet. Still playing on themes.
