The focus these days is on social networking....today Microsoft and Google announced they will be incorporating Twitter feeds into their search results in the near future. Another report states that nearly 1 in 5 Americans are using Twitter, and the usage is increasing among the young.
I have found that connecting my best students to each other and having them leverage each other's skills is perhaps the the most attractive aspect of social networking. One student who had already taken LSAT is now willing to help out another student who is going to take it shortly.
More information, even real-time information, may be useless unless there is a processing system to make sense of it. Sometimes asynchronicity is a blessing, because it can slow down the information gathering and speed up the processing.
