The internet is one large place where many conversations are happening. People join social sites like MySpace, Virb, Flickr, or even 9rules for social interaction. With sites like Twitter, Jaiku, etc. the conversation can become very disjointed, meaning that the people trying to follow what you are saying has to look in many places to keep up.

Most sites don’t have streams so how does one keep up? Even if you did, are you really absorbing what is truly being said? Are you really listening? Does the person really want to be heard?

Are you able to block out the noise and focus on the important things?

I don’t think most people do. I think people spend so much time talking about stupid stuff they miss the important stuff. Just because text is flying back and forth doesn’t mean people are communicating effectively. I think the chit-chat gets in the way. The chit-chat takes away the time for the important things.

Because many people are missing the conversation because they don’t know where to look.
