I think this belongs in the same box as the 60% of twitter conversation has no real value statement from a while back.

Yes lots of conversation is inaine, pointless, and useless.  But it builds a shared moment, shared memory and relationship with the people you&#039;re conversing with.  That has it&#039;s own intrinsic value which is nearly impossible to quantify.

This lends itself to the arguement that social media is a time waster.  But in my view that&#039;s about all it does for the arguement.
