There is also so much nuance to grasp from actually using the tools. The 'why' you think is going on may not the thing. Consider, for example, the fetish people have with the number of Twitter followers (or, back in the day, LinkedIn). To me, that's not really the game you're playing with that app, but that's my experience with using it. YMMV. Which brings up another point, all the 'expertise' people bandy about may not travel all that well. To me, a good deal of this is context sensitive. So, the locale and nature of the connection plays a big role.

This is absolute fact, this applies to all of these previously mainstream venues. Most are lagging behind, either waiting for someone to push them forward or to stubborn to accept that change is needed for their continued growth and long term prosperity.
