Speaking for myself I prefer the forum format to social networking sites although some things about the latter are great, such as the ease with which you can share.
I do really belive that there will always be a place for both but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for something new. It is just difficult sometimes, without an ability to see into the future, to work out exactly what you do want. I remember in the early 1980s some IT people coming to the place that I worked and telling us that we were going to get computers and what did we want to put on our wish-list. Because we were all new to computers we didn't really know what to say - we didn't know what might be possible.
To some extent it must be the same with all new technology but there are some people who do have that sort of vision and it is only when the 'NEW' becomes available that the majority start to recognise the advantages and perhaps at that stage feed into the process to refine it.
DA probably does have the vision - I will be one of those waiting to see what comes out of it and maybe find that it was what I needed all the time but just hadn't realised.
