whether you like it is irrelevant, millies prefer the drop-in/drop-out format over the in-depth detailed one. it doesn't mean you won't get in-depth conversations, it's just not mandatory/forced.
Agreed with the first paragraph; disagreed with the last sentence. Given even Taramarie seems to agree that in Facebook doesn't work for in depth discussion, obviously you're not going to get in depth discussion there. Not only is it not mandatory; it is effectively prohibited.
To put it another way, taramarie is talking about how social media is being used by millenials, and Mikebert is talking about why most millenials prefer a medium that can only be used that way.
