Twitter has a different meaning to me when I am at an event (following a person's feed during a presentation I may not be able to attend, meeting up for dinner etc) Some folks use Linked in as a way to network and collect business cards. I have yet to find a use for Linked in, but seems useful if you are looking for a job (as one scenario). Facebook seems like a place to hook up with old friends from school, but will this be enough to hold people's attention over time? The fun part is being involved and watching it all play out ;) Finally, how many people can one person realistically follow? And what about the quality of ones relationships across networks?

They are trying to understand why people collect followers on Twitter or engage in similar kinds of behavior using social networking sites, games, etc. Josh asks: How would twitter change if you didn’t know how many followers you have?
