I gave a standard answer, but let me throw you a curve ball and raise a philosophical question.

#socialmedia creates an illusion we've got used to; the illusion that we can see the whole picture, or even a balanced sample.

If we're in a waiting room and we overhear a conversation and then the participants move into a room where we can no longer follow it, we lose the thread.

Why did #Facebook and #Twitter pretend they give us the whole picture?
