Why I would do this is easy. I connect to more people through Twitter than I do through Facebook. The people I connect with through Twitter ask nothing of me other than that I tweet at them. They don’t tweet back, nor do I want them to. If I wanted that I’d try to friend them on Facebook, which is by definition a bidirectional medium. Twitter is a broadcast medium and, as such, has value similar to radio, TV, or publishing.
