Why and for what do we actually use web based services. The fact that we don’t understand what value others get from social web apps is part of the paradigm of social software. The key is that each person has their own social lives, their own social circle, and thus their own social values. What is important to their social life will almost certainly be unimportant to us because we have our own to worry about.

The Italians let me know what's going on in the Italian blogosphere, events, dinners, etc., as well as their daily lives. The others are just fun to follow. They're mostly interesting people and mostly have interesting things to say. It's fun to browse what they're doing, gives me a sense of people around me even when I'm alone, and sometimes I get useful information from it. Where's the mystery in that?

And in answer to your question, I don't use twitter, and can barely stand Facebook. But I've always been somewhat socially withdrawn, which fits your theory well. Thanks for the article.
