Is Social Media worth anything?

Have we devolved from blogging to just posting everything on Twitter and Facebook?

Sometimes I feel like 144 characters is not enough. A status update or a ‘like’ just won’t cut it. Linking back to an articled I ‘dugg’, posting some photos, all of this social media stuff… What do you get out of it? Is it just a way to say less a whole lot faster or what?

What are you getting out of all this technology? Share your stories about how life is better for you becuase of this social media tech. I am curious.
