The flow of information and news is fast nowadays, 24 hour a day
Impossible to store on hard-disk or in brain, risk of overheating!!
To follow and learn without overheating, you need extended memories. Twitter might work like an extended short time memory (what was I thought about/read this morning?) and blog and Facebook might work like an extended long time memory (to remember something three months ago).
Since Twitter, Facebook and Blogs are social medias, your memories optimal becomes connected to other persons memories, like in a neural network.
If you find the tools to organize this in a way that fits your learning goals, you can sort of have like a big extra brain for learning :) and you can use your own brain to other things than just storing and organizing information. Like for example to remember to bring your training shoes when you are off to the gym.
