Relationships 2.0: Dating in 140 Characters or Less by JD Rucker

MySpace and Facebook have built a reputation for aiding (and sometimes hurting) people when developing a romantic relationship.  They are social networks, and as such, people tend to interact in some way through them.

Twitter, a microblogging, lifestreaming website where people send messages to groups and directly to each other, has emerged as a newer, safer way to interact.  Is group flirting the way to go?  Is it better or more intimate than giving phone numbers.  Apparently for some, it absolutely is.

I was talking to a friend the other day who was telling me about this girl he met at a coffee shop.  She noticed that he had the same laptop as she did and sparked a conversation.  They talked for an hour before she had to go.

“Did you get her number?” I asked.

“No, but I got her Twitter.  That’s even better!” he replied.

Wow.  What a world we live in.

Here is one of the responses to the post:

That’s crazy, but I’m going to side with him on this one. I think you can learn quite a bit about someone via Twitter. It’s a great way to build relationships without being a huge distraction or interruption since you have the ability to reply whenever you feel it’s necessary.

For me, I have never quite understood the Twitter phenomenon.  Then again, I never got the Facebook and MySpace thing either.
