I am constantly amazed at how much information I am getting through Twitter. Yes, that 140 character silly little posting really gets information across!
The college I work for is moving from Blackboard Vista (overpriced and bloated) to Moodle, specifically Moodlerooms. I know little to nothing about Moodle and even less about Moodlerooms, but once I posted questions on Twitter, I got links to training and other information from other users! What a blast!
This is what social interaction is about! It is the process of useful information moving from one place to another, across miles, across cultures, across minds! I am currently following educators, tech g33ks, and colleagues, exchanging ideas, finding new avenues of learning, and expanding my horizons.
So much better than hunting for hours in blogs and feeds and whatever else on the Internet, hitting something interesting some of the time, but wasting so much on meaningless drivel.
All I can say is... give the 21st century a chance... you might like what you find!
