What caught my eye about this post wasn't the self-realization on the part of the author that debating on Twitter wasn't helpful, nor was it the useful set of thoughts about how to better interact with people on social media. No, it was the observation that "In those days, EduTwitter was much smaller, and as such, more intimate." And I think that the author's experiences are pretty common - you begin with the feeling that you are the 'whatever' community, and then it appears to get bigger and bigger and more hectic. But in fact, there is no such thing (nor was there ever) as the EduTwitter. There were many small groups of educations, each of whom thought they were EduTwitter. We all think we are definitive of whatever we are, and that the rest of the world is watching. But none of us is.
