It would be neat if it worked, but I think Twitter has driven their users’ behavior in the wrong direction. If they had been more business-focused in the beginning instead of telling users to randomly post what they’re doing, I think they might have had a shot.

I’m seeking a social community tool that will augment international college students interacting and supporting each other.

Linkedin has some good stuff, but not for this. Twitter is ok, but from looking at the site it’s not what the distance learning college student needs for educational interaction.

Perhaps a standard forum with moderators will be enough for now. If other real world needs are meet so easily, Twitter could come and go as a fad. If that is the case it might be easier, cheaper, and more effective for Linkedin to simply expand its own application.

Of course I’ve been very wrong before.

I agree that Linkedin Answers is cool, and it’s a feature that should be further developed, but I don’t think I would like that in real time.

I’m not even sure there’d be synergies with twitter. Maybe even an erosion of credibility for LinkedIn.

As you already have guessed I happen to like LinkedIn but not twitter at all ;)

best regards
