Conversation Agent: You're on Twitter, Now What?

* searchable content
* a series of micro impressions
* a presence tool
* a social network
* an information hub
* an idea exchange

* sound bites where you provide the context
* and more... (feel free to add)

Putting ideas out for discussion contrasts with formal “reach a conclusion and publish” model."
